Upcoming events

Seminars in the Frank and Katherine May Lecture Theatre (Henry Wellcome Building)

We share updates on our research Friday lunchtimes during term time.

We welcome external speakers Wednesday lunchtimes. PhD students and postdocs have lunch with external speakers after their seminar. Learn more about the seminars.

Research discussion forums

We get together monthly to discuss potential collaborations, ask for input into grant applications and discuss science.

ECR Naive Collaborators Club, 9 October 2025

The 'Naive Collaborators Club' aims to promote grassroots collaborations between clinical(ish) and mechanistic/ chemical biology research. We envisage a safe space forum for everyone to misunderstand/stumble/socialise and so develop:

  • Understanding of what others at similar career stages are doing;
  • Understanding of how to frame own research questions in ways that speak to colleagues in other disciplines;
  • Collaborative ideas.

Who is it for?: ECRs (PGRs, postdocs, research fellows, academics within the first few years of their first academic post) whose research is either in translational medicine or in structural or chemical biology who are enthusiastic

The incentive: Teams will compete for seed corn funding set aside by the Impact Acceleration Account by pitching.
