Academics from The Universities of Kent, Nottingham and Christ Church University together with industrial leaders held a mini-symposium on the topic of agricultural animal reproduction on Friday, 15 April, at Discovery Park in Sandwich.
It was the first event hosted by the Canterbury Christ Church University since the launch of its Life Sciences Industry Liaison Lab at the business park in March. University scientists joined together with industrialists from Illumina, JSR Genetics, Topigs Norsvin and IVF Biosciences to explore the importance of collaborative research as part of ongoing CISoR initiatives in non-human reproduction. Three BBSRC grant applications have arisen from the collaboration.
