Contemporary Medicine Lecture Series
The Contemporary Medicine Lecture Series was launched in 2019 and is aimed at engaging the School of Medicine and the wider Keele community with exciting topical translational research.
Every academic year, we invite internationally recognized leaders in their field to share with us their clinically relevant and life-changing biomedical research. The lectures are followed by an interactive meet & greet session to encourage further discussions between the guest speaker, students, staff and members of the wider public.
