Seminars
We host a variety of seminars and events. Our departmental seminars take place on Thursdays at 12pm in the main Seminar Room, and both MRC TIDU and MRC MHU host their own seminar series. Other seminars include our Careers Seminar Series, run by our Postdoc Association.
Our MRC WIMM DPhil Course is compulsory for MRC WIMM students and open to other members of the University.
