The Science Tribe: International Lives and Experiences
With many having just returned from Bio-Europe in Munich, we’d like to highlight another key meeting that took place in Barcelona in late September, with a focus on the thriving Spanish Life Sciences ecosystem - BioSpain 2023. We had the opportunity to speak to some really interesting attendees and organisations at the meeting. Have a listen, and perhaps you'll want to check out when it returns in two years’ time, in 2025!
Discussed in this podcast:
- The vibrant and rapidly growing Spanish Life Sciences ecosystem
- Biotech in space
- What computational chemistry could teach us about the potential of AI in drug discovery, and if it can fulfil expectations
- The latest in metallotherapeutics and how they're transforming oncology
- Biotech in British Columbia
- How a simple, single device could tell you about your biological age (vs chronological age) and how your habits influence that number
