Engineering Immunity: From Programmable Plants to Innate Medicine
Nucleate UK invites you to an evening bringing together researchers and builders across biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering to explore Engineering Immunity: From Programmable Plants to Innate Medicine.
This event will explore the intersection of plant and human immunity, and how engineering across both systems can unlock new applications in health and biotechnology.
Aligned with ARIA’s opportunity spaces in Innate Immunity and Programmable Plants, we will bring together researchers, founders, and innovators to examine how ideas translate across biological systems—from programmable crops to next-generation therapeutics.
Event Highlights:
Fireside Chat:
A conversation with founders spanning biotech and
the ecosystem, exploring how to build at the frontier of engineered immunity.
Flash Talks:
Short spotlights from early-stage founders (5 minutes each) working across plant and human systems.
Funding & Opportunity Insights:
Perspectives on funding pathways and venture creation, including opportunities aligned with ARIA.
Event schedule:
18:00 – Registration
18:30 – Flash talks
19:15 – Fireside chat
20:00 – Networking drinks
This event is designed for researchers and builders interested in translating research, exploring venture creation, and connecting with others shaping the future of bio-innovation.
Join us for an evening of discussion, discovery, and connection—plus drinks and networking with peers, collaborators, and future co-founders.
This event is part of Nucleate Identify, powered through our partnership with the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA).
