The second 3DbioNet workshop took place in Sheffield on the 6th of June 2019, hosted by John Haycock and the University of Sheffield. The day combined lectures, technology highlights, an early career researcher led speed-dating session, the launch of our first call for pump prime grants, small group brain storming on 3DbioNet challenges, and poster sessions culminating with the announcement of poster prizes (1st Joseph Leedale; 2nd, Amy Harding; 3rd Lynne Bingle). We thank our sponsors (Manchester Biogel, Merck, the National Measurement Laboratory, the Electrospinning company) and all the speakers, poster presenters and attendees who contributed to the success of the meeting.

Kicking off the @3DbioNet meeting in Sheffield with an introduction from Raphael Levy – looking forward to hearing about exciting new advances in 3D Biology! #3DBioNet @NC3Rs pic.twitter.com/i1rwOQ7tHP
