We’re back from the wonderful Cartilage Gordon Research Conference, and absolutely buzzing! Great friends old and new, and amazing science. It was so nice to be able to attend a conference ion person again, and to see everyone. Thank you Frank Zaucke and Farsh Guilak for organising a great meeting!
Thank you to the Tilly Hale Awards!
Today we were looking back at the 7 years of Genetics Matters and recording a little soundbite to say thank you to the Tilly Hale Awards for continuing to support Genetics Matters over the years. It is a great event that brings together scientists, health care professionals, rare disease patients and members of the public, and raises awareness of rare disease research in Newcastle.
Here’s a collage of our event’s posters to date:
Save the date – BSMB ECR meeting, 29th of June, Manchester
Thank you for taking part in Genetics Matters!
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!
