Three image panels of Galleria, the first panel taken from above, the second from in front and the third on a hand to show the scale of the larva.

Building on the success of the inaugural Galleria Mellonella Workshop last year, the Galleria Mellonella Research Centre (GMRC) is bringing the UK Galleria research community together and offering hands-on training at this years event.

The workshop is aimed at scientists working with, or interested in using, Galleria as a research model. Attendees are invited to share their own Galleria research in a short talk, alongside hands-on training covering:

  • Rearing Galleria in the laboratory.
  • Larval anatomy and dissection.
  • Preparation of Galleria embryos for genetic manipulation.

NC3Rs Early Career Engagement awards

This event is funded by an Early Career Engagement award granted to GMRC co-director and NC3Rs-funded postdoc Dr Jennie Campbell to further maximise the 3Rs impacts of her research. Early Career Engagement awards are available for NC3Rs-funded PhD students and postdocs to develop the skills and experience necessary to support their career ambitions, through skill development and networking opportunities, while building and sustaining an impactful 3Rs legacy.
