The Rosalind Franklin Institute are delighted to invite you to our Science Symposium, which will be taking place on the 6th of December.
The Rosalind Franklin Institute is a national research institute dedicated to developing new technologies to tackle important health research challenges. The spectrum of tools under development at the Franklin are individually extraordinary, but when combined at the Franklin’s Hub, they allow us to develop tomorrow’s healthcare innovations.
The Franklin wishes to invite those who want to learn more about the work being carried out to our one day science symposium.
