Event format

These events are usually in person @ Oxford Universities BioEscalator, however this seminar of the IISS series will be held virtually.

Information about attendance and video conference details will be provided via email to those registered via Eventbrite the day before and thus registration is required by 11am 1st June 2020.

Many thanks for your patience and flexibility in the way in which this seminar will proceed. The seminars are a great way for local collaborative networking, but I hope that the silver lining may be that by hosting virtually we will be able to engage a wider audience.

If you would prefer not to use eventbrite from a GDPR perspective then please email Siobhan.Dennis@Medsci.ox.ac.uk to register.
