I am pleased to let you know that an exciting seminar programme is planned for Michaelmas Term 2017. In particular, I would like to draw your attention to the 14^th Annual Burdon Sanderson Cardiac Science lecture on Monday 16 October 2017.

We are delighted to welcome international guest speaker Viviana Gradinaru from the California Institute of Technology to give this lecture entitled 'Optogenetic, tissue clearing, and viral vector approaches to understand and influence whole-animal physiology and behaviour'. Please visit the Oxtalks page for further information.
