Christmas Lecture 2014

  • By Lisa Fuller

‘Ho Ho Ho, A Story of Biology’ was the theme for Dr Rick Dunn‘s Christmas Lecture to year 7 pupils this year.

Dr Dunn’s lecture was presented as part of the University’s Christmas lecture series and delivered to over three hundred 11-year-olds on Tuesday 15th December.

The lecture included discussions on food. energy and exercise and was extremely well received by the children who particularly enjoyed seeing the live experiments and interactive opportunities.

Medical Research Council Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research

We are funded by the Medical Research Council and Versus Arthritis, we are a Centre of Excellence in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ageing Research. We are integrating and expanding complementary research and postgraduate training activity of the two leading Midlands based Universities, the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham, together with their associated NHS hospital trusts.

Versus Arthritis came to life in September 2018 as a result of the merger of two of UK’s largest arthritis charities – Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care
