Information for patients

Patient Groups
CRM researchers regularly explain their work on stem cells to patient groups and we also host visits to our research labs. Are you part of a patient group and interested to organise this for your group too? Don't hesitate and get in touch with ingrid [dot] heersche [at] ed [dot] ac [dot] uk.

Some of the presentations are also available online.
