UCL Life Sciences Society

Take a break from the lab and join the Life Sciences Society for a relaxed pub social!

Come along for drinks, good conversation, and a great atmosphere. All years and disciplines are welcome — it’s a great opportunity to get to know other members of the society outside of uni.

Interested in learning more about the mechanisms that regulate RNA translation in neurodegeneration? Join us as we hear from Michelle, a PhD student in the Ule & Lieberam Labs of the UK Dementia Research Institute at King’s College London!

Alongside sharing insights into her current research in neurodegeneration, she will also talk about her PhD research journey and experiences securing the MRC DTP iCase studentship.

Snacks will be provided - hope to see you there!

UCL Life Science Society is proud to announce that our “Spotlight on…” academic talk series is back! Join Professor Ahad Rahim for: Spotlight on Translational Neuroscience - a fantastic opportunity to hear from and network with a researcher, and learn about current cutting-edge research being done at UCL 💡🔬

Professor Rahim’s lab is involved in the development and pre-clinical testing of various biologics and advanced medicinal therapeutic products to treat the brain including AAV vector mediated gene therapy, exosomes and neuroprotective peptide therapies. He works closely with clinicians and regulators to translate these new therapies from the bench to the clinic for patient benefit.

This event is FREE and refreshments will be provided 😋

🗓️ Date: Friday, 21st March 2025
⏰ Time: 6:30pm - 8pm
📍 Location: 1-19 Torrington Place 433

⚠️ You MUST have a standard membership to attend this event - this will be checked at the venue before registration!

The spaces are limited so sign up ASAP using the SU link on our story or linktree in bio‼️

We look forward to seeing you 🙌

In collaboration with UCL Science Magazine Society, we are hosting an academic talk for our members: Spotlight on Invasion Biology: how many alien species do we end up with? 🧬

Join us to learn about the invasive biology field at UCL from Professor Tim Blackburn! 📚

Research in the Blackburn group primarily addresses questions relating to human-mediated biological invasions. Invasions are now so pervasive that alien species are a central element of current global environmental change, and a major drain on economic resources, giving a strong incentive to understand the process that leads to a species becoming invasive.

This event is FREE and refreshments will be provided 😋

🗓️ Date: Tuesday, 18th March 2025
⏰ Time: 5:30pm - 7pm
📍 Location: Central House Room 225

⚠️ You MUST have a standard membership in either LSS or Science Magazine Society to attend this event - this will be checked at the venue before registration!
