Café Synthetique is the monthly meetup for the Cambridge synthetic and engineering biology community with informal talks, discussion and pub snacks. Kindly sponsored by Cambridge Consultants.
We meet monthly at the Panton Arms to share the latest developments in engineering biology and related approaches and techniques. Speakers range from students and group leaders to industry professionals and entrepreneurs. We are always open to speaker suggestions so if you would like to nominate yourself or another person, please get in touch via [coordinator@engbio.cam.ac.uk](mailto:coordinator@engbio.cam.ac.uk).
We are back on Monday 4 September with Dr Alex Borodavka
Royal Society and Sir Henry Dale Fellow
Department of Biochemistry
'Viruses: Elegance in Their Simplicity, or Simply Bad News Wrapped in Protein?'
Bio: Alex earned his BSc in Biochemistry and pursued his MSc in Microbiology and Virology at Kyiv National University. He later advanced his research as a Wellcome-funded PhD student at the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, University of Leeds, UK. Following his PhD, he was honored with a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship to develop advanced fluorescence techniques to investigate RNA viruses with segmented genomes. From 2014 to 2018, he split his time between Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich, the University of Leeds, and UNC at Chapel Hill. In 2019, Alex founded his own research group in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, backed by a Wellcome Sir Henry Dale Fellowship.
