STEP Seminar Series 2008
STEP invites local and international colleagues to present their research and ideas on the general themes of health screening and diagnostic testing. Speakers vary from academic researchers to public policy makers and are invariably topical and informative.
The dates for the 2008 seminar series are below; the topics, speakers and venue will be available in early 2008.
The seminar venue will be confirmed two weeks prior to each seminar but is typically in the Physics Lecture Theatre 5 or the Norman Gregg Lecture Theatre in the Edward Ford Building (A27) from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. Anyone interested in welcome to join us.
