Café Synthetique is the monthly meetup for the Cambridge synthetic and engineering biology community with informal talks, discussion and pub snacks. Join us on the first Monday of each month for informal talks, discussion, drinks and snacks and to catch up with engineering biology news and projects from across the Cambridge community.
We meet monthly at the Panton Arms to share the latest developments in engineering biology and related approaches and techniques. Speakers range from students and group leaders to industry professionals and entrepreneurs. Topics cover many areas at the intersection on biology and engineering, often pairing speakers from the University with local start-ups and biotech companies to provide a broad view from emerging research and technologies to real-world and commercial applications. Meetings are open to everyone, from students and academics to those working in industry and policy, social scientists and DIY biologists. The format is informal, with 1-2 short talks followed by discussion and an opportunity to network, all accompanied by tasty pub snacks and buy-your-own drinks.
Next Cafe Synthetique Event 2 June 6pm
On Monday 2 June we have a talks from Wes Robertson, MRC LMB and Sonja Blasche, MRC Toxicology Unit.
It would be great to see the community coming together again with free aromi food available! Drinks available to purchase at the bar. We look forward to seeing you at the Panton Arms, Cambridge.
Get Involved!
We are always open to speaker suggestions so if you would like to nominate yourself or suggest a speaker or topic, please get in touch via coordinator@engbio.cam.ac.uk.
