"Swipe here to donate" - an interactive event for the public
but... getting hold of these samples is often challenging and difficult
Imagine a potential future where you could donate your tissue and blood for research by just swiping a ‘smart-card’. Would you sign up?
Science writer and broadcaster Dr Vivienne Parry will host a debate on this thought-provoking topic with a panel of contributors including Simon Denegri, National Director for Public Participation and Engagement in Research.
In addition several interactive display stands will demonstrate how tissues are used in research.More Event Details
