The Centre for Molecular and Structural Biochemistry (www.cmsb.eu) will hold its inaugural Early Years Researchers’ Colloquium at UEA.

The Colloquium will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 2nd March in the Elizabeth Fry building room 01.02 at the UEA, from 14.00-17.00hrs. In addition to four speakers whose talks reflect the diversity of the science taking place within the CMSB, we will be joined by Professor Emma Raven who will deliver the BIO Open Lecture at 16.00. The programme for the afternoon is outlined below and should be of considerable interest to all advanced undergraduate students.
