🚀 We’re all set!
This Sunday marks the return of the Placental Biology Course – our first in-person for six years. 25 participants joining for lectures and practical sessions delivered by experts in the field of placental biology!

We're excited! Next week we'll be welcoming our first in person attendees since 2019 to our 2025 Placental Biology Course for a week of lectures and practical sessions.

All the live lectures are being recorded. For 2026 the course will be online. Back in person for 2027.
