Neuroscience Seminar Schedule 2013/14

CNR presents a fortnightly seminar series which is co-sponsored by the Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease research, the Centre for Multiple Sclerosis research in Edinburgh and the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic.

These seminars offer a wide range of internal and external speakers, from postgraduate students to internationally-renowned scientists

Seminars take place on Monday afternoons at 1pm in either a Lecture Theatre in the Chancellors building or the Wellcome auditorium at the Queens Medical Research Institute (QMRI), both situated at Little France Crescent .
