Billed as “The Professors Shaping our Future”, the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine delivered its inaugural lectures in collaboration with the Edinburgh Science Festival on the evening of Thursday 11 April.

Our professors are shaping the future of their field using creativity, collaboration and innovation to change our world for the better. Delegates were invited to hear the human stories behind the science that has shaped these professors’ research, and their own lives.
