We had 100 people with us yesterday, despite Newcastle United playing at Wembley, raising awareness of rare diseases and rare disease research, chatting about science, performing experiments, and discussing aspects of medical research at Newcastle.
The room was buzzing with interesting conversation, and we have already had a lot of good feedback. Thank you to all the presenters and scientists, patient organisations and patients for participating, and thank you to everyone for coming and spending a Sunday afternoon with us. We really enjoyed the event and we hope that you did too.
See you next year!

The NEPG conference (https://ne-pg.co.uk/) is the largest student-led annual biomedical conference in the UK, offering postgraduate students valuable presentation and networking opportunities with their peers. This year, Jack Roberts from the SRG is in the organising committee, and the SRG students Abby Brumwell, Adam, Duxfield, Dan Hayman and Marc Farcasanu will be presenting their work.
There’s still time to join if you’re interested!
We were at the British Society for Matrix Biology meeting in Liverpool this month. An amazing meeting full of great science around development and ageing, including a great networking morning with the ECMage network (really exciting projects and ideas there!). Lovely to see so many new tissue engineering approaches and opportunities to collaborate with friends old and new.
And a big thank you and well done to Francesca, Marc and Rachel, who presented posters about our EC, NC3Rs, and JGW Patterson Foundation funded projects.
Professor Frank Beier is visiting Newcastle University on the 5th of September and Dr Sarah Rice from the Skeletal Research Group (the SRG) has organised a seminar by him at 1pm followed by short talks (15min + 5 min questions) by PhDs and PostDocs from the SRG. Please see the exciting program below.
