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: Dr John James - Reconstituting the trafficking and signalling of the preTCR: ghost receptor; Dr Erin Greaves - Exploiting the immune system to solve endometriosis
Reconstituting the trafficking and signalling of the preTCR: ghost receptor
Dr John James, Associate Professor, Biomedical Sciences Directorate
Short abstract: Reconstitution of pre-T cell receptor (preTCR) expression in non-immune cells demonstrated that signalling is not required for its rapid internalization and degradation observed during T-cell development, and that the preTCR can drive tonic signalling in T cells.
Exploiting the immune system to solve endometriosis
Dr Erin Greaves, Associate Professor, Biomedical Sciences Directorate
Short abstract: Immune dysfunction is central to the pathobiology of endometriosis. By unravelling the phenotype and role of immune cells, we are finding new ways to potentially diagnose and treat the disorder.
