Avian Research Symposium 2022
The Avian Research Symposium 2022 was an online event, held on three consecutive afternoons, March 8th-10th 2022.
The symposium aimed to raise awareness of exciting research investigating avian biology and using avian model systems.
The programme was a mix of short and long style presentations. Topics included; chick developmental biology, genome modification, genomics, avian welfare, husbandry, behaviour and neuroendocrinology, and infection and immunity.
