Our research at the Great Exhibition of the North

30 July, 2018Events, Musculoskeletal newsKatarzyna

On Saturday the 28th of July we were presenting our bench to bedside research at the Great North Museum Hancock as part of the Great Exhibition of the North, an event celebrating innovation and excellence of science and technology in the North East. We chatted to approximately 100 people of all ages, presented out work and specimens and answered many interesting questions. Thank you all for visiting and making it a really enjoyable day!

If you missed us and would like to come see us another time, we’ll be present at Dame Allan’s Schools careers fair in October or keep an eye out for advertisements of our flagship Genetics Matters event, coming up end of February as part of the International Rare Disease Day!
