CVS CPR Seminar Series 2022 - Presentations from Core Facility Managers

This series of talks will provide new and existing staff/students with information (including fundamentals of the methodology) and the opportunity to see what the facilities offer as well as review/remind/enhance their knowledge and skills.

CVS Research integrity committee would like to invite all of you to the Special Hybrid CVS CPR Talk (Wednesdays, 12:00-13:00, 21st September - 5th October). The seminar is held in the QMRI auditorium and streamed through Teams.

The core facilities within CMVM provide key techniques and expertise for our research. The presentation series would suit both new users and current users. The complete schedule is available below:
