3rd UK Dementia MRI conference

We are organising the 3rd UK Dementia MRI conference in Cambridge this year.

The 2-day MRI conference: An excellent conference on the doorstep! Again we are giving PhD students and post-docs the  opportunity for short presentations and posters.

PhD/Post-doc Presentations: We are offering 10 PhD students / Post-docs the opportunity to give a 10 min presentation, six on the 5^th July and four on the 6^th July.
