A lecture taking place at the Crick.

Crick lectures

Crick lectures are delivered by leading internationally renowned scientists and cover the full spectrum of biomedical research.

These lectures aim to educate and inform those interested in science through high-level, complex talks on all aspects of research at the Crick. They are designed to be understood by scientists from other disciplines, whilst also offering something for the specialist.
