Becoming the Matrix T-shirt Printing Workshop

Sally Gilford (Artist, creative producer and socially-engaged practitioner.)

Using water-based inks and silk screens, you will try your hand at screen printing to create a t-shirt to take away with you using pre-made designs featuring microscopic images of cells. We provide everything you need including aprons, just roll up your sleeve and be ready to print & play!

Entering the Matrix - what, how, and why?

Dr Joan Chang (Research Associate)

What is the matrix, and why is it important? Here we will explore the fundamental importance of collagen (and it’s not just for face creams!) in health and disease, and explore the more artistic side of imaging matrix.

The MATRIX - reloaded for healthy living.

Professor Christoph Ballestrem (Professor/Senior Lecturer of Molecular Cell Biology, The University of Manchester)

The MATRIX – how its inhabitants (the cells in our body) sense it, how they shape it, and why it is important to keep the matrix healthy.
