Events and Open Days
Open Days
We run open days for our undergraduate courses and our graduate-entry Medicine (MB ChB) programme several times per year. Our 2025 open days will be taking place on the following dates.
- Saturday 11 October (undergraduate only)
- Saturday 25 October (undergraduate only)
Leading Lights Lectures
Our Leading Lights lectures give our new professors the opportunity to share their career journey and current work with their colleagues, friends, and family, as well as members of the public with an interest in their area of research. These events are open to all. See our upcoming lectures here and watch the recordings of our previous lectures here.

Challenging Racism Workshop
Challenging Racism workshops are aimed at any NHS or University staff who teach or interact with Warwick Medical School MB ChB medical students. This includes medical, nursing and other allied professional clinicians and administration staff - if you meet our medical students face-to-face (or the online equivalent) in your NHS working/teaching capacity, then this workshop is for you.
You will learn about different types of racism and how to recognise them, and discuss ways of responding to racism. The workshops involve a taught component/presentation and a lot of time for discussion and questions. The videos that we use are located in clinical learning environments but the discussions will be relevant to you even if you are not a clinical teacher.
WMS and SLS Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Seminar: Steve Wu and Elliot Vincent, Warwick Zeeman Institute for Systems Biology and Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research (SBIDER)
BMS Seminar: Gene Processing using DonorGuide, GeneWeld and MitoFUSX Base Editors, Professor Steve Ekker, Department of Pediatrics, Dell Medical School, University of Texas Austin
Abstract: The Ekker Precision Gene Editing Laboratory developed morpholinos, gene-breaking and other transposon tools, and the first HDR editing in zebrafish. Recent gene editing advances include precision targeted large knockins using GeneWeld, smaller knockins using DonorGuide, and new programmable edits in the mitochondrial genome. This presentation will include technical and application updates for each approach, enabling the massive parallel assessment of AI-based CAR-T therapies, and the establishment of the first unconstrained mitochondrial TALE base editors. Recent advances in AI- prediction tools enable rational structure-based design of next generation gene editing tools including Zippered Donor Guide and mitoFUSX TALE base editors.
