SBOHVM PGR Internal Seminars 2024-25

Our PostGrad/PostDoc/P.I. Lecture series restarts on Friday 11th October at 4pm, occuring every Friday thereafter in the Graham Kerr Lecture Theatre or via Zoom, as per the schedule below.

Please note that from the 1st of November to the 6th of December, the seminars will be held in Graham Kerr Lecture Theatre 2.

We'll be hosting in person and virtual talks by many of our own PostGrads and SBOHVM Researchers. It's a great way to round off the week, so please come along if you are interested.
