A gentle reminder that the London Genetics Network journal club will be starting shortly at 3 PM today! We look forward to seeing you all there again.
We are hosting the South of England Genetic Epidemiology Group (SEGEG) meeting at the University of Exeter on July 1st! Registration is free and now open - forms.office.com/e/tengc4eKLk
Importantly, there was networking, an ECR poster session, lots of questions and a panel on new beginnings in careers in human genetics. If you're a researcher working in human genetics in London or the surrounding areas, email us at [email protected] to join!
We heard excellent talks from Naomi Wray, Michael Simpson, Peter Visscher, Raghib Ali & Oliver Pain
We loved seeing everyone at Monday's science and new beginnings London Genetics Network event @UniOfSurrey Huge thanks to the speakers, poster presenters and all our attendees , and our funding as a SIG from @GenSocUK
Towards the end of the amazing meeting, we have a panel discussion session to discuss “New Beginnings” - theme of the day! #LGN2024
