IGC Science Away Day

Please join us at the IGC Science Away Day which will introduce research from established researchers and newcomers across career stages, as well as offering an opportunity for networking.

The programme is divided into four sessions covering: Frontiers in Cancer Research; Genome Regulation; Lessons from Rare and Common Disease; and Translating IGC Science for Impact.

Each session will consist of a series of 15-minute research talks, followed by questions, as well as five-minute flash talks.

Lunch is provided and there will be further opportunities for networking at an optional drinks reception at the end of the day.
