The CrickConnect team are delighted to be able to invite community members to join us at the Crick's regular Crick Lecture.

Crick Lectures provide a broad insight into biomedical research from leading scientists. Not to be missed, the one-hour lectures are the event of the week for the Crick community to come together. 

This installment will be delivered by Crick Senior Group Leader Jonathan Stoye.

Crick Lectures take place weekly (usually on Thursday at 16:00). They are given by leading scientists and aim to be accessible to scientists across different disciplines, while also offering something for the specialist.

Due to the pioneering and sensitive nature of some of the research discussed in these lectures, only Crick Lectures from selected Crick group leaders will be shared, and we ask all attendees to respect the private nature of these talks by refraining from making any type of recording, sharing access details or in any other way compromising the research that is discussed.
