OUR COMMUNITY

Connected by curiosity.

Bringing the Chinese chemistry and biology community together in Cambridge, since 2022.

WHO WE ARE

Shared interests.
Stronger connections.

Founded in 2022, Cambridge Chem&Bio brings together Chinese researchers, students and professionals across chemistry and biology.

Our seminars create a welcoming space to share research, exchange ideas and build connections across disciplines. The community is shaped by the people who speak, attend and help organise each event.
