Save the date!

Two centuries ago, on 20 July 1822, Gregor Johann Mendel was born, a friar who became known as the founder of genetics. Mendel’s experiments with pea plants paved the way for much of the research that we do in the Integrative Epidemiology Unit.

To mark his 200^th birthday, we are hosting a two-day conference/event, at Bristol Zoo Gardens and online, on 20-21 July 2022.

Speakers at the conference will span epidemiology, agriculture and the history of genetics, as well as the impact of eugenics and other ethical issues.
