ELRIG Networking Events

ELRIG Networking events are a great way to get to know other like-minded individuals in your local area. Since the end of 2016, we have been running regular networking meetings in various locations throughout the UK.

ELRIG is a not for profit organisation, whose mission is to provide outstanding, leading edge knowledge to the life sciences community on an open access basis which is free for delegates to attend. ELRIG networking events are an extension of this ethos.

These meetings are usually held in the evening, and involve informal presentations by guest speakers from academia and industry which encourage and foster collaboration and opportunities between local research groups. The presentations are always followed by a food and drinks reception to facilitate further networking.

We believe that through enhanced collaboration between scientists from academia, pharma / biotech and the technology industry, we can offer the opportunity to create a truly unique and open forum, engaging researchers in a beneficial manner and within a local geographical environment.

ELRIG Networking event: Next-generation CRISPR technologies – Download the Agenda

Tuesday 26th November 2019: 5.30pm – 8.00pm (Registration from 5pm)

The Francis Crick Institute

We return to the Francis Crick Institute for this free-to-attend ELRIG networking event. CRISPR gene editing technologies have revolutionised our ability to manipulate, image and annotate specific nucleotide sequences within live cells and organisms. Uses range from fundamental scientific research to translational medicine.

Our networking events, follow the model of short, informal presentations by guest speakers from academia and industry which encourage and foster collaboration and opportunities between local research groups. The presentations are always followed by a food and drinks reception to facilitate further networking.

We believe that through enhanced collaboration between scientists from academia, pharma / biotech and the technology industry, we can offer the opportunity to create a truly unique and open forum, engaging researchers in a beneficial manner and within a local geographical environment.

To learn more about novel CRISPR applications and innovation within this area come and join us at this ELRIG networking meeting.
