WIN Microstructure Day

Wednesday, 02 April 2025, 9am to 5pm

Department of Pharmacology – Lecture Theatre, Mansfield Rd, Oxford OX1 3QT

The WIN microstructure interest group is organising a seminar day at the Department of Pharmacology on Wednesday, 2 April. 

 

The event aims to bring together UK-based researchers to share insights and foster discussions on recent advances in microstructure imaging. Everyone interested in the topic is welcome to join us for the day!

 

There is no registration fee, but registration is required by March 10 for attendance due to the limited capacity for catering and the venue. 

 

Please use the following form to register: https://forms.office.com/e/AumLF77dmF
