Timisoara Life&Bytes

Monday, December 16th, we'll start delivering the Start-in-Biotech Micro-Bootcamp, a joint effort initiated by Biomentorhub and developed with the involvement of the London-based Creo Incubator, Banat ITand BioCoderDojo Timisoara's project Timisoara Life&Bytes, aiming to bring into discussion and to provide resources for those curious about the fields of Biotechnology and biotech entrepreneurship as directions for professional reorienting or just an initial career path!

The program features micro-learning units, networking sessions and interactive panels.

Our founder Radu Ticiu will co-moderate tomorrow together with Cristian Cristea the inaugural panel, featuring a group of fantastic professionals and entrepreneurs, including:

Zahra Jawad, the CEO and Founder of CREASALLIS , a Cambridge-based antibody engineering company,
Alessandro Pilotti, the co-founder of Timișoara-based Cloudbase Solutions, insufficiently known as a recent and enthusiastic MRes student in Bioinformatics at Birkbeck, University of London
Cosmin Gliga, Fellow of the BioInnovate programme in Galway/Ireland, part of a team developing hypertension treatments
Cristian Regep, Senior Director at Relation Therapeutics, holding a DPhil from Oxford after beginning his journey at Universitatea Politehnica Timisoara
Eric Herrera, an iGEMer with a major in neurosciences but excelling as CEO of the San Antonio, TX-based Maverick BioMetals, a VC-backed startup creating biological processes for critical metal extraction.

Join us in this super-hot exploration, alongside this exquisite group of professionals!

Here's a first group of experts you may learn from and interact during the Start-in-Biotech Micro-Bootcamp we are inviting you to join next week, Monday to Thursday, each day starting at 19:30, ending 21:00.

Keep an eye on our page to learn more names tomorrow!

Here is a teaser: they live and work in Cambridge, Timișoara, London, San Antonio/Texas. Their journeys could be presented like this:

- biochemistry -> antibody-based cancer therapy
- cloud services -> bioinformatics & Protein Language Models
- software engineering -> ML for target-medicine development
- neurosciences -> biological processes for critical metal extraction

Start-in-Bio is a project run by Biomentorhub, Creo Incubator, BioCoderDojo Timisoara, Banat IT!

Here's what you may discuss during the next week Start-in-Biotech!

Here is a look at the schedule for the upcoming Micro-Bootcamp: Start-in-Biotech in collaboration with Creo Incubator. You can find more information on our website: https://4biomed.biomentorhub.ro/bootcamps/

Partners: Banat IT, Timisoara Life&Bytes

Timisoara Life&Bytes partners with Biomentorhub, Creo Incubator and Banat IT in building up and unrolling, Start-in-Biotech micro-bootcamp.

This series of four 90 minutes long interactive online events scheduled daily, between 19:00 and 20:30, from December 16th and 19th, aims to explore various aspects of the biotech industry, from both professional and entrepreneurial perspectives.

Beyond the short lectures, panel discussions with inspiring professionals, this series of evening events will offer participants the possibility to network with like-minded professionals, potentially conducive to joint exploration of the field within future hackathons, incubation programs and other community building evnets.

Participation is free, donations to support development of further activities are encouraged.

Registration is open: https://form.jotform.com/243394729893070

No better way to spend a cold weekend in Timișoara but joining a spacetech hackathon, focused on the exploration of usage of space data in creating solutions to support environmental change or green transition.

Want to start this studying year in a totally different way than before?

BioCoderDojo challenges you to:
- join as a volunteer in building the non-formal educational side of the BioArt Revolution project
- be a visitor of the Sep 18th - Oct 1st exhibition by the British bioartist Anna Dumitriu
- learn various life science lessons through microbiology, molecular biology experiments or bioinfomatics processing and visualing of biologic data
- meet Romanian and foreign researchers and artists who will expose you to the most advanced and paradigm changing fields of biology, biotech, synthetic biology or bioinformatics

Expect to be amazed by the variety and approachable complexity of a domain that will change the way the world will look over the next 10-15 years! And, who knows, you may decide to contribute to this change!

Toți tinerii vizitatori ai ”laboratorului fără ziduri” al BioCoderDojo Timisoara de la POLI Kids Fest / Petrecere de 1 iunie au utilizat sau urmărit utilizarea echipamentelor MiniOne System achiziționate în cadrul proiectului Timisoara Life&Bytes pentru a le oferi elevilor timișoreni oportunitatea de a experimenta în zona de convergență a științelor vieții și tehnologiei informației.

Proiectul Timisoara Life&Bytes a fost implementat de Asociatia One Source, Asociația Biomentorhub și Colegiul National Banatean Timisoara, cu sprijin oferit de Primăria Municipiului Timișoara și Consiliul Local Al Municipiului Timisoara, printr-o finanțare acordată în cadrul Programului Tineret, derulat de Centrul de Proiecte Timișoara.

Conferința finală Timișoara Life&Bytes a adus împreună în jur de 100 de participanți, majoritatea elevi de liceu, bineînțeles, dar și profesori, studenți, cercetători din domeniul științelor vieții și IT.

A fost o foarte bună ocazie de bilanț a activităților proiectului: prezentări, webinarii cu profesioniști din domeniu, vizite de studiu la organizații de cercetare sau startup-uri din domeniul medtech, activități de laborator cu echipamentele de biologie moleculara achizitionate sau recentul ideathon/hackathon.

Am putut discuta în cadrul a două paneluri despre modul în care domeniul bioștiințelor, biotehnologiilor și cel medtech poate urca în topul direcțiilor prioritare de dezvoltare în regiune, pentru a oferi, peste 8-10 ani, atunci când liceenii participanți la proiect vor fi deja absolveți de masterate sau poate doctoranzi, oportunități de carieră în cercetare, inovare, industrie sau antreprenoriat, despre alegeri educaționale posibile.

Am revăzut pitch-urile celor mai bune proiecte dezvoltate în cadrul ideathon/hackathon-ului, respectiv am votat cel mai popular proiect și am încheiat bucurându-ne cu Life&Bytes live beats cântate de prietenii de la The Skywalkers.

Viitorul e tech&bio! Îl construim împreună!
