Events and Open Days
Open Days
We run open days for our undergraduate courses and our graduate-entry Medicine (MB ChB) programme around four times per year, usually in October and June. Booking for these is essential. We'll update this page once we have confirmation of the dates for 2025.
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. The recordings of our previous lectures can be found here.
BMS Seminar by Dr Harpal Randeva and Professor Timothy Saunders
Deciphering how complex organ form emerges in development
Professor Timothy Saunders
Abstract: Our internal organs have specific three-dimensional morphologies essential for their efficient function. Defects in morphogenesis lead to diseases in adults – for example, over 40% of adult heart disease can be traced to a developmental context. Yet, we know remarkably little about the physical processes underlying internal organ morphogenesis. Here, I present quantitative analysis of early muscle formation in zebrafish. This system is highly accessibly to live imaging and is enabling us to decipher the biophysical mechanisms helping to build the first skeletal muscle structures. In particular, we explore how organogenesis can be so robust in the face of challenges during development.
