Scientists working

Weekly round-up #110

With the current COVID-19 pandemic ongoing, our thoughts are with all our members around the world, and their families; we hope you are all staying safe. At VALIDATE-HQ in Oxford, the VALIDATE team will be working from home, as per UK guidelines, but still very much active to help keep you, our members, up-to-date with our non-COVID VALIDATE pathogens, TB, leishmaniasis, melioidosis and leprosy, and all the goings-on at VALIDATE and by our members around the world.

 

Given the uncertainty around COVID-19 we have decided to postpone our Immunometabolism Workshop, originally planned for April 2020 in Oxford. We apologise to our delegates and speakers for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause, but we will absolutely re-schedule the workshop later in the year, and will keep you informed as the re-planning progresses. In the meantime, we are still accepting Expressions of Interest to join the workshop from those interested in attending, so do continue to send in your applications. Find out more (and keep up-to-date) on our workshop webpage.

 

Do, of course, get in touch with the VALIDATE Management Team with any queries you have regarding VALIDATE. You can also keep up-to-date via our website and social media.
