Professor Malcolm Mason, Head of Oncology & Palliative Medicine in the University, who was a guest judge for the posters, said after the event:
"It was heartening to see so many talented young scientists working on projects that really make a difference to human health. A thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable day".
The Postgraduate Research Day has been held annually in the Welsh School of Pharmacy since the start of this century and provides a valuable experience for the PhD students during their study period in Cardiff to present their endeavours to their peers in a supportive environment. It is currently organised by Dr Emma Kidd with assistance from Wendy Meeson (Post-graduate administrator) and an organising committee from within the School.
