The meeting is an opportunity for our members to inform attendees of the latest research findings within CITER’s broad area of research.

Overview

The annual two-day scientific meeting will be delivered online and hosted through the University IT support.

The Programme includes four Biomedical Life Sciences themes where CITER interest meets the theme; Immunology, Infection and Inflammation, Applied Healthcare Technology, Mind, Brain and Neurosciences and Cancer. There are seven sessions over the two days and selected sessions in the Programme are “open” and others are for CITER members and University colleagues only (please refer to the Programme listed in the below section).

The Programme includes internal guest speakers and talks from our bursary awardees on how the funding has allowed for collaborations of an interdisciplinary nature and any future work. Post Doctoral Research Associates and PhD students both within and outside the University are invited to present research findings by delivering a fire talk /poster. In addition the meeting provides an excellent opportunity for early career researchers to Chair academic sessions.

The 2019-2020 cohort for the MSc Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine and the selected 2020 CITER Summer students will deliver a talk as part of the fire talk sessions.
