Our students are a vital part of CIMR, and we aim to provide a supportive environment for all both in and out of the lab. Our Student Committee is responsible for the organisation of social and networking events, and the representation of students on Institute committees.
Student activities in CIMR are open to all MPhil and PhD students and students undertaking placements or internships. Our recurring events include a monthly happy hour with members of the Mitochondrial Biology Unit, and a bi-weekly student cake bake. We have previously organised BBQs, quiz nights, bowling nights and bake-offs. We are always happy to hear suggestions for social or academic events that we can organise.
We also represent the student body on Institute, safety and education committees and provide a point of contact for students who require academic, personal or mental health support. Both prospective and current students are more than welcome to contact any member of the committee with questions or concerns.
