Cell Division Biology Retreat 2017
- Venue: Buchanan Room, Dove Marine Laboratory, Cullercoats
- Start: Thu, 06 Jul 2017 09:00:00 BST
- End: Thu, 06 Jul 2017 17:00:00 BST
The Retreat will be held at the Dove Marine Laboratory in Cullercoats on 6th July from 9 am to approximately 5 pm.
This will be a great chance to get to know other members of the Cell Division Biology Research Group and their work.
Speakers from all the labs will give short talks on work in progress and future plans.
Lunch will be provided.
We hope that many of you will also plan to have dinner in the area that evening. Riley's Fish Shack on the beach in Tynemouth is a particular attraction but, if it is too busy, there are many other options.
If you have questions please contact Jonathan Higgins.
