🍕 November Social: PhDs & Pizzas!
Curious about life as a PhD student?
Wondering what postgraduate research is really like across different areas of life sciences and medicine? Not sure if academia is right for you — or what career paths might lie ahead after completing a PhD?
Join us for a relaxed evening of conversation, networking, and free pizza as we bring together PhD students from a range of life sciences and medical research backgrounds with undergraduate students from across UCL.
- We invited PhD students from:
UCL’s Centre for Life’s Origins and Evolution (CLOE), UCL Cancer Institute, Institute of Healthy Ageing, UCL Genetics Institute, and the Francis Crick Institute — including labs specialising in Tissue Regeneration, Clonal Evolution, Signalling, and Structural Biology. - Research areas include:
Evolutionary origins of animal forms, gene expression in larval development, stem cell and precancerous biology, radiotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer, population genetics, tissue regeneration, computational biology, and molecular signalling and structure.
👥 This is your chance to:
- Ask about day-to-day research life and learn about PhD application processes
- Explore different PhD pathways and specialties
- Hear honest advice on whether a PhD is right for you
- Meet like-minded students and expand your academic network
Open to all undergraduates interested in research, academia, or just having a good chat with cool scientists 🧬🧠
