OxBacNet – a networking group, linking bacteriologists working in Oxford.
Organised by Judith Armitage (Dept. of Biochemistry, judith.armitage@bioch.ox.ac.uk) and Philip Poole (Dept.of Biology, philip.poole@biology.ox.ac.uk), we aim to have three meetings a year, held on Wednesday afternoon of fourth week each term. There will be research talks by senior and junior scientists (either by Zoom or ‘in person’ meetings), and when held in the Dept. of Biology, followed by opportunities for networking (and pizza!)
If you would like to be added to the mailing list, please contact alison.east@biology.ox.ac.uk
OxBacNet is grateful for the support of Oxford’s Bacteriology Project Leaders.
