We're delighted to invite you to join us for a one day Symposium to celebrate Peter Parker's recent retirement.

Peter Parker retired earlier this year after a long and distinguished research career, most recently as a senior group leader at the Crick and head of the Protein Phosphorylation Laboratory. Peter has been associated with the Crick and its precursor institutes for all but four of the past 39 years, and the Symposium will feature speakers from the ranks of Parker lab alumni followed by an evening reception.

We hope that you will be able to join us at the Crick. However if you are unable to make it in person we can send you a link to join us remotely.  

If you have any questions please let us know at connect@crick.ac.uk.
