#VoM_UK24 with the last session of PDRA and Fellow talks we see the close of VoM-UK24 meeting. Thank you to all the delegates making it a huge success. We have had a wide variety of talks and posters. Thanks to all the sponsors and event manager.

We have seen a few posts regarding registration. Apologies, but we hit the 125 limit earlier than we expected. It would be good to know how many people tried to register, without success, so we can scale next year. If you couldn't register please just send VoM-UK in a DM.

Have a friend joining me to proof read current grant application. She doesn't normally do this. Must sense the tension!!

Like protein secretion? Like mycobacteria? Exciting postdoc opportunity 👇
Contact me or Lis Lowe👩🏼‍🔬 if you’re interested!
