A warm welcome to Marc, our new NC3Rs funded PhD student, who completed his induction for both schools (FMS and SAgE) this month and is starting the hands on part of his project learning how to grow mammalian cells.
Really looking forward to seeing how this project unfolds!
Today is the International Rare Disease Day. Over the years we’ve met at great events raising awareness of rare diseases and empowering rare. Sadly this year we cannot meet in person, but we haven’t forgotten.
We had a very enjoyable first meeting. Thank you very much to everyone for volunteering their time to work with us, it was great to meet you and we are looking forward to working with you over the next 3 years, developing outreach and educational materials and sharing our research journey.
If you are interested in participating but couldn’t attend today, the recording of the meeting is available to watch and you are more than welcome to joi us at our next session in June. If you’d like to watch the video or join the Working Group, please email katarzyna.pirog@ncl.ac.uk
We are looking for members of the public who would like to be involved in a Working Group, and take part in lab meetings, provide a fresh perspective on the work performed in the laboratory, have an active voice in the decisions we take as to the direction of our research and help us deliver their teaching and public engagement activities related to musculoskeletal health and ageing that stem from our work.
We had a lovely socially distanced evening at the”Ignite” installation at Gibside to celebrate (the end of) 2020 and for some Christmas cheer. Merry Christmas everyone!
