Research clinics

As part of the MRC Centre for Reproductive Health's commitment to research, a series of research clinics is on offer to the local scientific and clinical community.

In line with public advice, the Centre for Reproductive Health has now cancelled all in-person research clinic talks going forward.

The CRH has initiated a virtual research clinic series presented by researchers as below.  This will be populated as details develop.
