About
The Galleria mellonella workshop returns for a fifth year with an extended programme over two days, including a research seminar alongside hands-on laboratory sessions. The Galleria Mellonella Research Centre (GMRC) at the University of Exeter organise this annual workshop for anyone currently working with or interested in using wax moth larvae, to exchange knowledge on research applications and techniques and support the uptake of Galleria as a partial replacement model. Attendees are invited to share their research with both presentation abstracts and posters welcomed.
