Seminars & Events
One of WAIMR's major goals is to educate the research community and the public on the benefits that medical research has to offer. As well as regular weekly seminars, we run a number of special seminars throughout the year, along with several fundraising events.
WAIMR Seminar Series
Innovation in research can be realised by sharing ideas and broadening our exposure to advances in similar disciplines. The WAIMR Seminar Series provides an opportunity for staff, students and members of the public to engage with a range of researchers, clinicians and other practitioners on medical research issues. Our upcoming seminars are outlined below.
