Discovery tours provide a unique opportunity for the community to get in contact with medical research.

  • Hear how our research is shaping future treatments
  • Tours are free and run for approximately 60 minutes.

We welcome visits from schools, community groups and universities. A minimum of 10 people is required for a tour.
