In April 19, TAPAS Coordinator, Prof Steve Watson, visited Prof. Ángel García’s lab at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), for a tour of facilities at the Platelet Proteomics Group at the Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CIMUS) and to give a seminar. The successful trip was also used to discuss the TAPAS collaboration between USC and Birmingham and to help prepare for the exchange of students between the universities that will happen next year. Steve would like to emphasise the world leading facilities and fantastic hospitality in Santiago.
