Homerton's research students got together with their dark blue counterparts on Saturday 27th May at our sister College, Harris Manchester, Oxford, for the sixth joint Research Day.
Twelve students - six from Homerton - presented to their peers, on topics from "Small non-coding RNA dysregulation in Germ Cell tumours" to "Instructional leadership in Sarawak and its effects on student achievement".
Dr Melanie Keene, Postgraduate Tutor at Homerton, said the Research Days "showcase the innovative, challenging, and diverse research topics of the Oxbridge postgraduate community".
Harris Manchester in Oxford and Homerton in Cambridge share a liberal, pioneering ethos, and share too many aspects of their history - both have their origins in the Dissenting Academies, both moved from London to Cambridge in the 1890s, later becoming full Colleges of their respective universities.
Charles Wellbeloved, an alumnus of Homerton Academy when it was in London, became the Principal of Harris Manchester for 37 years from 1803; the current Principals of each institution are Honorary Fellows of the other.
