White City Biotech Showcase & Meetup
Thursday 22 November 2018, 15:00-17:30
Organised with Imperial College London’s Chemistry department and supported by Central Working, this event aims to encourage interaction and collaboration between business, academics and researchers.
This autumn, Chemistry became the first Department to move from Imperial College’s South Kensington campus to its new home at White City, taking up residence at the Molecular Science Research Hub (MSRH).
The MSRH brings together nearly 800 scientists, clinicians, engineers and business partners and houses the equipment and infrastructure to support a twenty-first century approach. Here, researchers from a range of backgrounds can address common challenges in areas such as energy, healthcare, and sustainability.
