Before the event, we invited schools to participate in a research project that would be showcased at the conference in the session Science for Experimentation.
All schools were competing for The Association for Clinical Biochemistry & Laboratory Medicine Trophy for the Don Henderson Award.
The conference featured a diverse range of outstanding presentations, as always.
