Research showcase: Allergy at Imperial

Registration website

Allergy is an increasing global health problem and a rapidly evolving field with exciting translational research directly impacting on better patient care.

Join us at this research showcase event, as Imperial academics discuss their latest findings and insights within the field.

Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a discussion with our academics by submitting questions via a chat function.

This event will be of special interest to those looking to study on one of our Allergy programmes, and more broadly to healthcare professionals (specialist physicians, GPs, nurses, dietitians) and basic scientists wishing to further develop their expertise and careers in allergy.
