Members of the Centre are actively involved in explaining the relevance and applications of Systems Biology to members of the general public and the wider scientific community. We do this on a range of levels from talking to children in schools to undergraduate and graduate teaching, the provision of seminar series' and organising scientific conferences and workshops. We are more than happy to provide people to talk in schools, colleges and at other events. If you would like further information please contact us.
