Big Question Lectures
Big Question lectures are an opportunity for Centre of the Cell’s Youth Members – as well as the general public – to hear about ground-breaking research and life-saving work happening here in London, and to ask our speakers about their work.
Talks are delivered by leading scientists or clinicians, often from Barts and the London School of Medicine & Dentistry.
These events aim to increase science capital, bridging the gap between scientists and the general public.
Upcoming events
Our next Big Question Lecture will take place on Tuesday 24th September entitled ‘Will there ever be a cure for cancer?‘. This lecture will be given by Frances Balkwill.
