UPCOMING CILIA MEETINGS

Back by overwhelming demand from members of our cilia community, we will be running an entirely virtual online mini-symposia series four times a year for 2025 where our PIs, students and postdocs can continue to share their exciting stories! Open to all, from now a ONE-OFF registration for this free series in advance will be required- once you are on our list, you will be sent a recurring link to each event for the Zoom webinar and link to the cloud recording once processed after the event. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER FOR EACH EVENT- I will transfer your registration for you for each subsequent event. If you wish to be removed from these events, please email pleasantine.millATed.ac.uk to be taken off the list.
