Biology conference

We shine a light on the hidden world, offering a new perspective on life, from viruses to the yet undiscovered life on distant planets.

Sessions include:

Astrobiology life hunters
Explore how life survives extreme conditions and the detection of biomarkers to search for life on distant planets.

BIOS games
Carry out a series of short tasks, experiencing the use of some of a biologist's most essential tools, to see who will be crowned the BIOS champion.

Global domination
Try and beat the biologist at creating a pandemic while discussing topics of epidemiology, public health, and evolution.

ViroBioBlitz
Head out of the lab and into the digital world of bioinformatics, using cutting-edge algorithms to discover new viruses.

During lunch you can view view our current student’s work, getting a glimpse in the diverse topics and innovative projects they have taken part in during their studies.
