Enny van Beest
UCL-coordinator
I’m a senior researcher studying how individual neurons in brain-wide networks work together so that we can find our way. Besides my work and making science available to everyone, I love playing piano and singing in Constanza Choir and our lab-band “The Wildtypes”.
Avishikta Chakraborty
UCL-coordinator
I'm a postdoc in evolutionary biology at UCL, studying adaptation and conflict using fruit flies. I'm also involved in mentoring and outreach initiatives, particularly for underrepresented groups in STEM. In my free time, I enjoy family, reading, traveling, and exploring new cuisines.
Josh Peacock
UCL-coordinator
I'm a first year PhD student interested in multi-Organ-on-a-chip models and their use to understand and treat cardiac transplant rejection. I got hooked on a Pint of Science talk last year wanted to join in on the fun for myself
Austin Endo
Event manager Our Body
Postdoctoral researcher at the Hochhauser lab in UCL Cancer Institute. Specialises in colorectal cancer, investigating targeted therapies for patients with mutational burdens that render them resistant to common forms of treatment.
Ginevra Pistocchi
Event manager atoms to galaxies
I am a PhD Student in Immunology at UCL. I love Pint of Science and events that make science more accessible and fun to the public, it's so important to bring everyone together! Outside of science, I love baking with my sourdough starter Dino and musical theatre.
Laurence Maeter
Event manager atoms to galaxies
I’m currently a PhD student at the UCL Cancer Institute studying treatment responses in breast cancer. I’m passionate about making science fun and sharing that with everyone around us!
Dhriti Harith
Event manager Planet Earth
I'm a researcher in gene therapy and epilepsy at UCL. Passionate about science communication and helping people see the science in everyday life - ideally over a pint :)
Lilian Wang
Event manager Planet Earth
A first-year PhD student in the Lopez-Barreiro lab working on the antimicrobial properties of silk-elastin-like peptides. She is a nature lover before a scientist, and enjoys a wide range of topics from Zoology to Chemistry.
Tom Goddard
Event manager Planet Earth
I'm a researcher of dementia, genetics and anything data. I enjoy talking about, and listening to, science - and what can be better than doing it in a pub?!
Ivan Lam
Event manager Tech Me Out
I am a PhD student at Secrier lab. Although lab works seem to be the norm to understand cancer, we work on a slightly different angle to understand cancer using computational techniques, such as building AI tools to predict their moves. Favourite pub without a doubt: Lore of the Land with nice beer
Daniel Bush
Event Manager Tech Me Out
Associate Professor in the UCL Department of Neuroscience, Physiology, and Pharmacology interested in human memory function, electrophysiology, and esoterically named pale ales.
Léo Carrillo
Event manager Our Society
Researcher in the field of lab-grown meat at UCL Department of Biochemical Engineering, involved in many different aspects of science communication from outreach events to writing science pieces sharing recent news.
Ju Fagotti
Event manager atoms to galaxies
Neuroscientist studying how neurosteroids shape behaviour. I’m interested in what we get wrong, not just what we get right. Into honest science and making it feel relevant beyond the lab - and, outside it, actual armoured sword fighting :)
Heather Ye
Event manager our society
As an MSc Cancer student, I am interested in the messy and exciting space where cancer research meets the clinic — especially immunotherapy, biomarkers and the occasional breakthrough.
Laura Andreoli
Event manager beautiful Minds
I’m a Lecturer (Teaching) at UCL with a background in neuroscience research, including studying how the spinal cord processes sensory signals and the motor complications associated with Parkinson’s disease treatments. I love turning complex data into meaningful stories, and even more, sharing those …
Chris Douthwaite
Event manager planet earth
I'm a neuroscientist studying how our brains process social information, enabling us to navigate interactions with others. Away from the world of neuroscience I love getting out into nature, so I'm looking forward to hearing some cool talks with the Planet Earth team!
Sarah Shipley
Event manager our body
Postdoctoral researcher in the Barry Lab at UCL. Interested in memory and navigation networks in the brain, and how they break down in Alzheimer's disease.
Alyce McClellan
Event manager our body
I'm a Postdoc studying how muscle cells take up glucose from the bloodstream in response to insulin. In cell culture we can model insulin resistance (like what happens in Type 2 diabetes) to investigate potential therapies. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of scientists and spread…
Julie Koziy
Event Manager Planet earth
I am a researcher at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (UCL), working on bacteria and how their morphology changes when they are treated with antimicrobial drugs. I love learning new things and getting people excited about science.
