Yesterday we hosted a most thought provoking webinar led by Dr Jeantine E. Lunshof, internationally recognised bioethicist and pioneer of collaborative ethics. View the slide presentation at the link below shorturl.at/VVjLS
How do we turn engineering biology into practical solutions? Our research spans four interconnected areas. By combining fundamental science with real world applications, we're helping develop sustainable technologies for future metal processing. #Engineeringbiology
ALT Visual & List of Research Focus areas: To harness & develop living systems to process environmental & waste metals.
Next week 14 September at 2 pm GMT Elemental welcomes leading bioethicist & pioneer of collaborative ethics Dr Jeantine Lunshof to headline our next webinar ‘The Role of Collaborative Ethics at the Frontiers of Discovery Science’. Book now.

Over Summer 2025 & 2026 we funded Summer Research Studentships for undergraduate & taught postgraduate students undertaking short-term projects.
We were thrilled to welcome all funded students to UCL this week & learn about their projects & the research we supported.
