Researchers from across the Institute gathered on Thursday for the third annual Research Away Day.
Laurent Bozec, Head of Research, highlighted the growth in our research and the tremendous achievement from the EDI and the wider UCL research team associated with Oral Health.
Research Staff and students showcased recent and on-going work. During the event, there were also several interventions from a variety of external speakers from UCL Buisness, UCL Consultants and the Translational Research Office as well as Glaxosmithklein and the UCL BRC.
The Postgraduate Posters and Presentations (4min competition) highlighted the talent and innovative inquiry of our research students.
Director Stephen Porter said “Today has really illustrated the breadth and depth of our research and the considerable potential we have to continue to improve care for patients.”
