The University of Bath is hosting a free to attend public lecture next Wednesday that will explore the cancer research currently taking place at the University.
The lecture, on Wednesday 15th October, is from 6pm – 7pm in the Chancellor’s Building 1.10 and is open to everyone. No registration is required.
The event follows the delivery of Bath’s MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), entitled ‘Inside Cancer: how genes influence cancer development’ which started on 1st September.
This is the second time the MOOC has been run: over 7000 students from across the globe took the online six week course throughout January and February 2014.
The public lecture, lead by Dr Momna Hejmadi with talks by Dr Adele Murrell and Dr Matthew Lloyd, summarises some of the cutting edge developments in Bath’s research into cancer.
It will highlight research that builds on current understanding of the fundamental molecular and cellular processes underpinning cancer, leading into new cancer treatment targets identified by our medicinal chemists.
The lecture will be an opportunity to explore the ‘bench to bedside’ process of cancer research.
For those unable to come to campus for the lecture, it will be live streamed and available to view on YouTube after the event.
Online viewers will also be able to join the question and answer element of the event by tweeting any questions for the presenters using the hashtag #flgenesbath. Follow @Cancer_at_Bath for more information.
