About the Symposium
Uncovering Hidden Biology is a one-day, open-access symposium hosted at Worcester College. The symposium will focus on pioneering research that employs cutting-edge biomolecular methods to illuminate previously unknown biological mechanisms and redefine our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of disease.
Recognising the value of cross-disciplinary collaboration in advancing biological methods, this symposium aims to foster dialogue between researchers from the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. The event will feature talks, discussions, and poster sessions of cutting-edge and unpublished research, encouraging interactions among early career scientists. Themes within this symposium include biomolecular structures and dynamics, molecular and cellular systems biology, new approaches in therapeutic development, and next-generation molecular pathology.
Who Can Attend?
The symposium is limited to 120 people. We invite all interested lecturers, early-career scientists, postgraduate or undergraduate students to register. Confirmation of acceptance will be provided by email.
For researchers, the event will offer opportunities to directly connect with leading scientists working at the interface of the physical and biological sciences. We hope that the diverse scientific environment will unlock synergistic collaborations into new and unfamiliar fields.
There is no obligation for attendees, particularly those at the beginning of their research career, to present their research. Attending the symposium will provide an opportunity to explore how your expertise can contribute to advancing the world around, and hopefully inspire a future in scientific research.
