Modern medicine remains largely reactive, relying on external interventions to address pathological states after they have already manifested. The Intelligent Body explores a paradigm shift: the transition from biology as a fixed, immutable blueprint to biology as a programmable, responsive platform.
The goal of this event is to move the conversation beyond "health" toward resilience by design. We’ll discuss the engineering challenges, ethical considerations of resident genetic circuits, and how Scottish innovation can advance the idea of a body that manages its own defence.
Drop in to discover how GenProtex is redefining our interaction with biology by reprogramming cellular systems at the protein level. By combining genetic manipulation with small molecules, they precisely rewire protein activity and signalling inside living cells. This integrated approach unlocks new ways to control complex biology, opening opportunities across healthcare, biotechnology, and entirely new areas of innovation.
Come along for a conversation, ask questions, and explore how this work could shape the future of science and technology.
Curious about the future of biotech? Come along to learn more about Nucleate - a global, student-led community helping scientists and innovators turn ideas into impactful ventures. Through open-access programmes and mentorship, they’re building the next wave of biotech leaders.
Join the conversation, ask questions, and discover how you can get involved.
Cultures Collective was formed when two school friends who share a love for fermentation decided to make a space to experiment and create wonderful fermented beverages.
They will be offering a free tasting of different water kefirs, and wild sodas made from foraged botanicals in a collaboration with many incredible microbes.
This is the first of two tasting sessions running this evening. Pre-register to save a spot!
Most scientists and deep tech founders are good at explaining what they've built; they find it much harder to articulate why it matters.
In this 30-minute workshop, TEDx coach and pitch strategist Tessa Rawson cuts through the curse of information and shows you how to use strategic storytelling to make your work matter to the people who need to hear it - investors, customers, partners and colleagues.
Whether you're pitching, presenting or just trying to get people as excited as you are about your project, this session will give you practical storytelling tools to stop explaining and start connecting.
Take a seat and join us for a warm welcome to a series of curated talks. We’ll go through how to make the most of a Thursday Gathering and give you a quick preview of what’s ahead.
Tune in for an introduction to Nucleate - learn more about what they’re doing to support emerging biotech innovation and build community at the intersection of science and entrepreneurship.
Hear from the Chair of Chemical Biology at the University of Dundee.
Hear from the Chair of Synthetic Biology at the University of Edinburgh.
Join us for a moment to reflect and dig deeper into the talks.
This interactive discussion gives you the opportunity to ask questions, explore ideas further, and connect with the speakers.
Your body is not just along for the ride. It is the system that determines whether you can think clearly, make good decisions and access creative states under pressure. Innovation depends on the quality of your attention, and attention is a trainable biological capacity.
Drawing on neuroscience, nervous system regulation and MPP's Body and Mind training approach, Karim explores what it takes to build the inner conditions for breakthrough thinking. The session includes short practical exercises and micro meditations you can apply in your life right away.
