Pelvic pain: diagnosing endometriosis sooner

Wednesday 28 October 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm

Pelvic pain and fertility problems can be symptoms of many issues.

Tackling COVID-19 together: Building a multi-disciplinary approach to help vaccinate the world

Wednesday 8 September 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated an intense research effort, which by one estimate has generated more than half a million research publications to date. Much of the COVID-19 research undertaken has been within traditional academic disciplines, but tackling COVID-19 effectively, and dealing with its long-term health and economic impacts, will require a multi-disciplinary research effort. The purpose of this symposium is to provide a multi-disciplinary forum focusing on effective ways to promote vaccine uptake and to ensure public support for…
