About DMMC Translational Workshops
DMMC Translational Workshops are a new format designed to improve communication and foster collaboration. This can take the form of an exchange between different research areas, between basic researchers and clinicians, between academia and industry, or between scientists and non-scientists. Please contact education@dmmc.ie if you have ideas for future translational workshops.
