Abstract

The purpose of this symposium is to promote the Faculty of Medical Sciences core facilities. Presentations will be made by researchers who have used the services provided by Mass Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy, Flow Cytometry, Bioimaging, Pinnacle, Bioinformatics and the ICfL Flow Cytometry facility in order to demonstrate how these techniques could be useful to you.

There will also be staff available with information about the clinical based research opportunities available through the Clinical Research Centre (CRC).
