SciBar: November

The second SciBar of the 2018/19 series is with Prof. Christine Le Maitre, Professor of Cell Biology and Tissue Regeneration at Sheffield Hallam University.

November's topic is: Back to the future: Stem cells and novel gels to treat back pain

This interactive, hands-on session will include a short talk and demonstration on how researchers at Sheffield Hallam University are developing a temperature sensitive gel, which can be used to treat low back pain. The presentation will explain how the shock absorbers in your spine fail and cause low back pain and will discuss the potential of stem cells and novel gels to repair these tissues.

This event will take place on Thursday 29th November from 6:30pm onwards. The talk will last around 30 mins, followed by a question and answer session and the chance for further discussion while enjoying a few drinks in the cosy settings of the Gullivers pub. No scientific background needed, just turn up and join in!

* Please note the change of venue for SciBar. The new venue for this year will be Gullivers, 109 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LW
