ISTM Annual Postgraduate Symposium
ISTM organises an annual gathering of all its research students and their supervisors to hear first year presentations on the latest projects. There is also a display of posters and various prizes. The Postgraduate Symposium takes place at the David Weatherall Building on Keele campus every spring. As well as providing an excellent opportunity for students to learn how to present their work at scientific meetings, it also gives a chance for all ISTM members to learn about the projects taking place in labs and clinics across the Research Institute's sites.
