This event explores the intriguing realms of viruses and microvasculature—the network of tiny blood vessels—and their vital roles in health and disease. Attendees will discover the latest advancements and ongoing efforts to combat future pandemics. Plus, there's an exciting opportunity to win some fantastic Pint of Science goodies!
Virus Hunting and Predicting Pandemics
Dr David Allen
(Associate Professor in Virology)
The COVID-19 pandemic showed on unprecedented scale the impact a new virus can have. However, new viruses appear more often than you might realise, and managing outbreaks of viruses is a constant health challenge worldwide. So, what is a virus and why can viruses be so disruptive in human and animal populations? How are viruses detected and monitored? And can technology like AI help us control viruses before they take hold? Join us at #Pint25 to find out the answers!

The Hidden Lifelines: Exploring the Vital Role of Microvasculature in Heath & Disease
Dr Paola Campagnolo
(Lecturer in Molecular Cardiovascular Science)
Your health depends on the tiniest blood vessels in your body—your microvasculature. Dr Paola Campagnolo and her team, Associate Professor in Molecular Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Surrey, will explore the cells that make up these vital networks and how they influence everything from healing to disease. Join us to uncover why these microscopic structures play such a huge role in keeping you healthy!
