About the Faculty Research Seminar Series:
The monthly lunchtime Faculty Research Seminar Series is open to all staff and students from across the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health and the University, offering an opportunity to celebrate the Faculty’s research achievement and stimulate scientific interaction. Each event focuses on one of the eight strategic research domains. Each month one of the Research Domain Directors selects two speakers from within the Faculty to highlight and showcase an area of research in their domain. There will usually be one senior speaker and one junior/early career researcher. Speakers include clinical, non-clinical and basic science researchers. Presentations are pitched at a non-specialist level, as the series aims to attract people from across the Faculty. Held on Wednesday lunchtimes each month, each meeting lasts an hour, comprising two 20 minute presentations, with each presentation being followed by 5-10 minutes questions and discussion.
Lunch is available 12.30-1pm; presentations run 1-2pm.
The series is led by Professor Nigel Hooper and administered from the Strategic Funding Team (by Lorna Tittle).
