Postgraduate Interdisciplinary Conference on Fertility, Pregnancy & Development
Funded by the University Graduate College
Thursday 23rd May, 13:45 – 17:30
Cardiff University Graduate Centre, Room 3.19
ABOUT THE EVENT
The network aims to highlight research being carried out by postgraduate students at any university within subject areas related to fertility, pregnancy and development, with an emphasis on promoting collaboration between academic schools and universities.
The network will provide the opportunity to establish research contacts, to gain an understanding of other research techniques used to study these subject areas and to create better communication between lab and hospital based research groups in order to encourage high quality translational research. Additionally, there will be opportunities for members to present and receive feedback on their research in a friendly environment.
A detailed programme of speakers will be available closer to the date. For more information, please see our webpage: http://sites.cardiff.ac.uk/fpdresearchnetwork/.
