The IMSR and Centre for Systems Modelling & Quantitative Biomedicine (SMQB) are excited to invite you to a free online event for World Diabetes Day 2020! We are extremely pleased to be hosting this event in partnership with Diabetes UK – a major funder for diabetes research and a crucial source of support for so many people living with diabetes.
