Come along on an exciting journey into the world of super-cool vaccines with Dr Mark Howarth.

We’re here to tell you about SpyTag, a tiny tool that makes vaccines even better. We’ll show you how SpyTag helps to decorate protein nanoparticles and makes special antibodies that protect you from all kinds of harmful germs.

Plus, we’ll use fun models and Velcro, and show you some awesome pictures.

All ages, no tickets required.
We look forward to seeing you and all the family!
