Monday 12th June sees the final Cafe Scientifique event before the summer break.
This month’s talk is from Dr Tracy Melvin, an Associate Professor at the Optoelectronics Research Centre, Southampton University.
The focus of Dr Melvin’s research is to create technologies to provide the potential to answer bioscience questions, such as how to repair damaged DNA, that are difficult or cannot be answered in any other way. Her research crosses the medical science – micro-optical device interface and includes bionano-technology methods.
This is the last talk before the summer. The next talk will be on Monday 25th September starting at 7pm. Professor Neville Stanton will be talking on ‘Driveless cars’.

What is Cafe Scientifique?
Cafe Scientifique is a club for those interested in the latest ideas in science and technology.
