This workshop aims to bring together scientists and clinicians from Imperial College and the three participating Institutes (the Francis Crick Institute, the Institute of Cancer Research and The Wellcome Sanger Institute) to facilitate multidisciplinary interactions and promote collaborations across departments. The workshop will consist of a range of talks highlighting the cutting edge research currently being undertaken across the departments as well as opportunities to network with fellow researchers with an interest in inflammatory diseases.
