Annual Genetics alumnni reunion
Our annual Genetics Department alumni reunion will be held in the department atrium on the evening of the 20th December 2019. This has become a great celebration of our department as well as an opportunity to meet up with old friends. We will have 2 presentations by past students of the department followed by a wine/cheese and mince pie reception. Please contact Sue at genetics@tcd.ie to register for this event.
