UPCOMING CILIA & CENTROSOME MEETINGS

Join us for our third session of 2026! Another 4 sessions across the year 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.
