Science in Progress talks
The Science in Progress (SIP) talks are informal research presentations by graduate students, postdocs, or early career researchers to the Oxford immunology community. The SIP talks will take place once every two months and all are welcome to attend.
*** Graduate students, postdocs, and faculty who wish to give presentations please contact Caitlin O'Brien-Ball ***
