Daniel Golshmid

Salutations! I am Daniel. Biotechnology is one of the fastest-growing fields today, both in terms of economic value (yay) and scientific innovations. As university students, we represent the future leaders and developers of the field. This is exactly why the UCL Biotechnology Society, which unites students with a common interest in the discipline, provides such a unique and incredible atmosphere. As a first year biochemical engineering student member of the society, I saw the significance of exposing students to the  industrial and academic sides of biotechnology, thus building bridges to the vast opportunities that the field holds. I also saw huge the potential for growth that this society has.
As vice-president I will work to: enhance engagement with industry by organising guest lectures on diverse topics with guests directly from industry and academia; Outreach and expand the society to reach as many students in UCL who are interested in biotechnology; Build a strong community by organising social events and fostering an atmosphere where people with a common denominator can connect with each other; Coordinate interdisciplinary collaborations with other adjacent fields and societies to promote a dynamic and well-informed community.
