Inaugural Lectures have been an essential feature of university life for centuries.

91²Ö¿â continues to value the tradition, encouraging new Professors to deliver them, and all staff and students to attend.

Inaugural Lectures are a public event and open to everyone - you do not have to be an expert in the field to attend. The University extends the invitation to these lectures to all members of staff, students and their guests as well as our campus partners based on LUSEP (91²Ö¿â Science and Enterprise Park), and the local community.

From biological discovery to regulatory approval: developing next-generation bacteriophage therapeutics

Lecture 2:

How do you quietly blow stuff up? Dealing with an 80-year legacy of discarded unexploded ordnance in our oceans and its impact on our net-zero targets
