The Manchester Molecular Pathology Innovation Centre (MMPathIC), co-funded by EPSRC and MRC, aims to develop the next generation of molecular pathology tests and diagnostics. This workshop will bring together clinicians, biologists, engineers and physical scientists, to examine the hurdles that must be overcome for effective interdisciplinary working to achieve MMPathICs objective to get new tests to the clinic and market. As well, this workshop will be an opportunity to inform/influence MMPathICs pump-priming flexible fund which is encompassed with MMPathICs activities.

As a participant in this exciting initiative, you are invited to a Facilitated workshop…to share your expertise, experiences, interests, successes and failures with like-minded individuals at an open forum meeting...Starting with lunch at 12:00, with facilitated discussion and networking opportunities in the afternoon, and finishing at 17:00.

Further details on the flexible funding available to pump-prime novel interdisciplinary projects (of £10-30k) will be included and details about how UoM researchers and and MAHSC colleagues will be able to access this will be provided.
