Description
“Genetics Matters” is an annual event organised by Newcastle University to mark the International Rare Disease Day. Currently in its 7th edition, the event consists of a combination of lay-language lectures and hands-on research tables. It is a great opportunity to chat to Newcastle University scientists, and find out about the recent developments in genetic research at Newcastle. In 2023, the event will run 1-5pm on Sunday the 26th February in the beautiful Great Hall of the Discovery Museum, and refreshments (tea/coffee/cake) will be provided. We will have 2-3 short researcher and patient talks, with the majority of the afternoon dedicated to the hands-on and face-to-face research tables. We will cover the cutting-edge topics of genomics, epigenetics, single cell research, stem cells and tissue regeneration, personalised medicine, drug repurposing, mitochondrial donation and cancer research, amongst others.
