Future events
Several activities have been organized in the past few months, and there are more to come!
Regular events
- Monthly seminars
- Friday tea breaks
We invite two life scientists to give presentations about their research work every month. This month, the presenters are Dr Yiyan Zheng (FER is a plausible novel target for enhancing paclitaxel cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer) and Mr Hanlin Zhang (Autophagy and T cell immunity). They will be presenting at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at 5:30pm on 26 September 2014.
These tea breaks allow life scientists in Oxford to meet, chat and socialize after a week's hard work. The tea breaks are held at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at 5pm every Friday.
Ad hoc events
- Industrial visit
We intend to organize an industrial visit to one or two pharmaceutical companies in September/ October 2014.
