CRF Biomedical Conference

The Foundation provides financial support for a two-day international conference at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on aspects of biomedical research. Its aim is to encourage the participants to take a multidisciplinary approach to consideration of problems in current biomedical research and the conference themes reflect this.

No Conference was held in 2011.  Please note that more information will follow on future CRF Biomedical Conferences.
