In collaboration with the Royal Society of Biology (RSB), our School of Biosciences has released two new videos showcasing our highly regarded research as part of the ‘Biology for a Better Tomorrow’ campaign which aims to show the vital role bioscientists play in responding to real-world challenges.
The videos feature interviews with bioscientist professors and PhD students discussing their work on dementia prevention, traumatic brain injury research and more.
Biology for a Better Tomorrow campaign is a comprehensive digital series created in partnership with the Royal Society of Biology (RSB) and Content With Purpose (CWP). This series delves into the vital work of biologists, highlighting how their expertise is driving progress towards a sustainable and equitable future.
