Plymouth Marine Laboratory - University of Exeter Research Day 2018

Event details

What is this event about?

This is the fifth annual Research Day since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the University of Exeter (UoE) and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) in July 2013, which reconfirmed our commitment to work together more strategically to grow our research activities and leverage research funding.

This Research Day will focus on the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) and the collaborative research between Exeter and PML on Single Cell Genomics.  

Event aims

The aim of the research day is to build on existing partnerships and facilitate further collaborative discussion between our institutions.
