TINs Webinar: Strategies to improve biologics manufacturing
During this webinar Prof. Paul Dalby will introduce examples of the kinds of research that is undertaken in Biochemical Engineering, in collaboration with academia and industry, to streamline the development and optimisation of manufacturing processes. This will also be an opportunity to explore the use of product engineering to improve their developability. Examples will cover a range of modalities including antibodies, cell therapies and viral vectors. This is part of the webinar series by the UCL Therapeutic Innovation Networks (TINs) to highlight UCL’s Research Infrastructure and Capabilities that enable effective translation of products toward patient/public benefit. The series aims to encourage multidisciplinary collaborations across departments. Academics from the UCL biomedical community are invited to share subjects of interest from their research expertise and interact with research fellows.

Cellular Agriculture Part 1 - The Future Of Food | Spring Into STEM
How can we use cells to grow food in a sustainable and ethical way? Petra and Mike will introduce you to the novel field of Cellular Agriculture and how sustainable and ethical foods can be produced without using animals. Examples of such foods include milk, cheese and even meat. You will learn about the challenges and the opportunities in this exciting area, while learning about what we teach and research at UCL Biochemical Engineering. Petra was a Lecturer in Biological Engineering at Aston University, Birmingham, UK, before joining UCL. Petra holds a BEng in Biochemical Engineering from Babes-Bolyai University, Romania and a PhD in Regenerative Medicine from Loughborough University, UK as part of the EPSRC DTC in Regenerative Medicine.

Biocatalysis - Engineering a Sustainable Future | Spring Into STEM
Enzymes are responsible for the wealth and diversity of natural products we utilise today, from fine chemicals such as drugs to materials for clothing or building. They are also involved in decomposing and recycling these materials, through the degradative pathways of animals and microorganisms. Can we harness the power of enzymes to create new and more powerful medicines, clean up and recycle our waste and put our industrial production on a more sustainable footing? We're very pleased to announce that Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCL Biochemical Engineering Dr Jack Jeffries will be taking on the role of Lecturer in Biocatalysis and Biocatalyst Engineering this spring. His new role as Lecturer in Biocatalysis and Biocatalyst Engineering will include Delivering the 1st year undergraduate core module Biochemistry and Molecular biology and leading the development of biocatalysis and sustainable bioprocess research at the MFL.
