Our Centenary Project Manager, Cristina Fonseca, is organising many events over the forthcoming months and compiling a programme of special Centenary Celebrations.

Cristina was appointed in 2017 to get a head start on the planning.  With a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh, she has a strong background in genetics and passion for communicating science.

Cristina is masterminding all our ideas from the Ri, London, where she has the support of a creative and knowledgeable team.

With many outreach events planned, Cristina is always on the lookout for local volunteers.  Check out what is on the horizon and contact Cristina to offer your help.
