Our International Scientific Advisory Board visits the IMS-MRL every other year to attend the Away Day and meet with key individuals to assess and advise on overall strategy for the IMS-MRL and MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit, on general progress and recruiting. The planned visit in 2021 was adapted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and we met virtually.
