She’ll discuss building the UK’s largest cell therapy site, supporting female-led start-ups, expanding global BioGrad training, and donating £23m of lab equipment to inspire future scientists.

Dr Yi will present his team’s work using a liver-specific mitoribosomal defect mouse model to investigate how mitochondrial stress responses, mitokine signalling, and the tumour immune microenvironment contribute to liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Dr Matthews will share new work using advanced microscopy and transcriptomics showing how RAS activation reshapes the actin network, influencing cell division and movement. She’ll also discuss how cell shape and mechanosensing affect responses to acute KRAS inhibition in pancreatic cancer.

He provided a detailed overview of antigen-specific immunotherapy and outlined current strategies being developed to treat autoimmune conditions.

Many thanks to Prof. Wraith for a fantastic seminar, and to our Gold sponsor BGI Genomics for sponsoring this week's seminar.

We look forward to hosting Professor Wraith as he discusses innovative strategies aimed at treating autoimmune diseases.

Our team will be there all day - come along, join in, and try some real lab-style activities in a friendly, accessible environment.

We’re running two hands-on, drop-in activities:
1)🔍 Whodunnit: A Crummy Crime Scene Investigation Help solve a dastardly cookie theft by analysing a DNA clue and discover the molecule that makes us who we are.
2)🧬 All About DNA
Explore why DNA matters in health, medicine, and wildlife conservation.
