Forging New Links meeting: Cellular and Developmental Systems

The MAHSC Women and Children Domain and The University of Manchester Cellular and Developmental Systems Domain invite clinicians, NHS laboratory scientists, nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals to this event which aims to encourage new research collaborations.  

This event is focused on research in cellular and developmental systems; processes that are fundamental to our understanding of life.

The meeting will be particularly of interest to people working in these areas: arthritis, developmental disorders, cancer, chronic diseases, fibrosis, healthy ageing, inflammation and repair, neurodegeneration, rare diseases and identifying targets for disease intervention.

Background 

Forging New Links is a series of meetings to help basic scientists, clinicians, nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals develop new research collaborations.  At the first meeting in November 2017, clinicians presented to scientists on clinical problems that would benefit from a molecular perspective. At this second meeting, University of Manchester scientists will present to clinicians and allied health professionals.

Aims

• To give an overview of how Manchester’s basic research in cellular and developmental systems increases our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of diseases
• To help clinicians, NHS laboratory scientists, nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals understand the opportunities for research collaborations.

Format

Each session consists of an overview of the research field, followed by short talks on strengths in Manchester, implications in disease, and available technologies/infrastructure.
