A grey morning in Manchester but, if yesterday’s discussions were anything to go by it’s going to be a sparkling day of illuminating science at the @wtccmr
On @FBMH_UoM Innovation Day, we’re excited to continue to celebrate Qing-Jun Meng, Faculty Researcher of the Year! Qing-Jun’s pioneering work on circadian clocks and rhythms is transforming our understanding of health and wellness.
Today, we celebrate the innovative and impactful work being done in @FBMH_UoM! A special shoutout to Joan Chang for their dedication to supporting and celebrating postdocs—not only in Manchester but across the UK! 👏 Thank you, Joan, for all that you do! #PostdocAppreciation#ResearchExcellence
Genomics research helps us understand diseases better. It enables us to improve treatments and personalise healthcare.
Yet for science to benefit everyone, we need to support greater diversity in genomic data. [1/3] wellcome.org/news/genomics-h…
