Hybrid event taking place virtually and in person, organised by The Francis Crick Institute, London
Our Medicine at the Crickevent series showcases major advances in biomedical science and raises awareness of the medical implications of major scientific advances. Interested members of the wider UK biomedical community are invited to attend.
More about the event
This 16th edition of Medicine at the Crick will be hosted by Prof Francesca Ciccarelli (The Francis Crick Institute) and Dr Ilaria Malanchi (The Francis Crick Institute).
What maintains tissue homeostasis over time and when is the balance disrupted, triggering disease initiation?
In this Medicine at the Crick event we will explore these fundamental questions with world leaders. We will discuss the roles of somatic mutations in ageing and review the interactions between mutant cells and the surrounding stroma to understand what intrinsic and extrinsic factors lead mutant cells to cause disease.
Programme
Speakers include: Professor Cedric Blanpain (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Professor Phil Jones (Wellcome Sanger Institute), Professor Sabine Werner (ETH Zurich), Dr Maria P. Alcolea (University of Cambridge), Dr Foad Rouhani (The Francis Crick Institute)
Lectures will be followed by a Q&A panel discussion and a networking reception for in person attendees until 19:00.
