The Francis Crick Institute
Crick Lectures are delivered by leading internationally-renowned scientists from the Francis Crick Institute and elsewhere and cover the full spectrum of biomedical research. They aim to be relatively accessible to scientists in all biomedical disciplines, whilst also offering something for the specialist.
The talks are open to scientists from other institutes and universities from across London and beyond. You should have a minimum of graduate-level biological knowledge to attend and fully engage with these talks. Please pre-register if you would like to attend. Find out more.

Principal Group Leader and Assistant Research Director Veronica Kinsler gives this week's Crick lecture.
Professor Veronica Kinsler is a clinician scientist, working in the field of serious and untreatable children’s skin diseases, many of which involve other organ systems, and carry a predisposition to cancer. Her research aims to find the causes of these diseases and to develop novel targeted therapies, whilst expanding knowledge of the biology of somatic mutagenesis and human embryogenesis. Veronica established and directs the GOSH Rare Dermatology Diseases Resource, an HTA tissue bank project involving over 1000 families which has led to her lab’s discovery of the genetic causes of many untreatable diseases. The Kinsler Lab works closely with patient groups, particularly Caring Matters Now, the AVM Butterfly charity, and the Sturge-Weber Foundation.
