CHDSCR Science Day

On Friday 7th June 2019, over 60 staff and students attended a day of science talks on human development, stem cells and regeneration with a focus on work by Early Career Researchers within the Centre.

Keynotes included:

• Dr Jonathan West: Microfluidics: exploring the dimensions of cellular diversity
• Dr Yihua Wang: Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in pulmonary fibrosis: a core determinant of epithelial-mesenchymal cross-talk
• Dr Ben Mills: Putting the AI in biophotonics
