It was great to be back and see everyone! 🙂 The Manchester Cell Matrix Centre has been a home to so many of us, helped forge great networks and amazing friendships, and deliver great science. Happy 30th anniversary, may it long continue! 👏👏👏🍾.
Great day today at the 30th Anniversary of the Manchester Cell Matrix Centre. Prof Mike Grant kicked it off with a great history of the origins of the Centre from 1966-1996 👍. Mike was instrumental in recruiting me to Manchester from UCLA and was a great mentor👍. 1/n
