A person wearing a brown hijab and a knitted sweater is engaging in a discussion at a biomedical research event. She is leaning forward, gesturing with her right hand, and is explaining microscopic imaging of the retina. In front of her is a microscope with a screen displaying a magnified image. Behind her, there is a banner for "Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre," which highlights their mission to improve eye condition diagnosis and treatment. A person in a blue shirt is engaged in conversation with two people at a research booth. They stand in front of a large scientific poster about retinal disease research. A banner for the NIHR Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre is displayed beside them. The table in front of them holds a few educational materials, including a model of a cell. Four people stand behind a table at a research showcase, smiling at the camera. The table is covered with scientific materials, including lab equipment, charts, and models. Behind them, a screen displays a Moorfields Private Eye Hospital advertisement, and a hanging model of the eye is visible.
