Exploring research

Looking for Plague

Come and hear Dr Lori Jones discuss how her research on plague led her to a unique discovery in our collections. We’ll look at how finding plague in a single Wellcome manuscript has evolved into an entirely new research project about the personalisation of medical knowledge in the past. Following her paper, there will be an opportunity for you to discuss her ideas.

Hear from Dr Lori Jones about how her research into plague outbreaks has been informed by our medieval collections.
