Join RCSI on Friday, 7 February 2025 for the 100th Abraham Colles Lecture.
Titled “From Colles’ Fracture to Gene-Activated Biomaterials: A Journey Through Tissue Engineering at RCSI”, the lecture will be delivered by Professor Fergal J. O’Brien, Deputy Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation, RCSI.
Celebrating the 100th Abraham Colles lecture, this year's Charter Meeting will spotlight key advancements in Irish medicine, building on the legacy of Abraham Colles.
Colles revolutionised the teaching of anatomy during his lifetime, paving the way for new insights into the structure and workings of the human body. His legacy is evident in his two major contributions to anatomical knowledge: the development of a regional approach to the study of anatomy, and the eponymous Colles fracture.
