“We are very much looking forward to welcoming you all to our wonderful city to hear about the latest in translational medicine with a Newcastle “flavour”. The meeting will be held in our recently opened Frederick Douglass Centre on the Helix Site, adjacent to the iconic St James’ Park and named after the social reformer and abolitionist whose freedom from slavery was paid for, in part, by a donation made by a family in Newcastle.”
