Very excited to be just a weekend away from this UK conference on neutrophil biology that we are hosting at Newcastle. It includes international keynotes but most important the majority of speakers are early career researchers. #immunology #inflammation #neutrophils #humandisease

Last week, the 1st Annual IMPACT conference took place on the shores of Loch Lomond 📍🤩

Members of IMPACT span wet-lab scientists, pathologists, bioinformaticians, patient involvement managers, image analysts, technicians, clinicians, students, project managers, and lecturers among others, to ensure a wide range of expertise and optimum resource management!
