Hi everyone!

Our research team is evolving and we have changed our name to encompass all of our new and current researchers.

We would also like to engage more with our community here on Facebook, so over the next coming weeks we will be starting an exciting new feature; "Meet the Scientists".

Through this, we will be introducing you to our team so that you can get to know who we all are and what each of us do!

Stay tuned for more... 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
