Our virus tinkerers are out today at the Sbarc/Spark building for “be a scientist” day! If you’re looking for an interactive event to inspire the kids this half term, why not come down and build a virus - and learn all about how we are making “smart viruses” to treat disease! 🦠

Brilliant job Dr Rebecca Bayliss 👏👏👏🦠

Fantastic day Wales Cancer Research Centre annual meeting Mondat, hearing about lots of exciting and inspiring research. And delighted to have won best poster 'Developing precision Virotherapies for the treatment of glioblastoma' @virustinkerers Alan Parker

Looking forward to my favourite #PublicEngagement event Pint of Science UK! I'll talk "how to train your virus" at Tiny Rebel Bar Cardiff on 20/05, discussing how we turned a disease causing "nasty" into a clinical stage anticancer medicine. Grab a pint, pop along! pintofscience.co.uk/event/from-ben…

With only 4 weeks to go 😲 we'd love to introduce the Viral ImmunoTherapies and Advanced therapeutics Lab (VITAL) group who will be hosting their "Fighting cancer using viruses" stand. We can't wait to see Viral ImmunoTherapies & Advanced therapeutics Lab. at the festival. #Scicomm #Research #STEM
