BIA Events

The leadership development programme for leaders in the Life Sciences

In today’s rapidly advancing biotech sector, the transition from lab-scale to pilot-scale bioprocessing is a pivotal step in product and process development – but one that remains largely out of reach for hands-on learning. With larger bioreactor systems typically reserved for commercial production, access is limited, creating a significant skills gap for early-career scientists and industry professionals eager to scale their expertise – until now.

Join us for Founder’s Unfiltered –Stories, Struggles and Breakthroughs, the launch event of Innovation Forum Glasgow, bringing together founders, researchers, and innovators from across Scotland to share honest insights from the startup journey.

In June, Venture Road continues to the United Kingdom.

The Modular Training for the Bioprocess Industries (MBI) programme pioneered by UCL Biochemical Engineering is a series of intensive short modules designed for professionals in the bioprocessing industry. The MBI Programme has a long history of equipping the bioprocessing industry's workforce with up-to-date skills and knowledge of process options in order to rapidly develop validatable, efficient and robust processes.

Set for 10 June 2026 at the Magdalen Centre in the Oxford Science Park, the Creative Disruption Forum on the Future of Neuro Therapeutics and CNS Health Innovations is an exclusive, interview-led event. Hosted by industry veterans Prof Tony Sedgwick and Graham Combe, it brings together an elite lineup of life sciences executives, CXOs, and R&D directors. The forum dives deep into breakthrough strategies for neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system (CNS) health. Moving past standard panels, it features direct thought-leader interviews and interactive afternoon workshops designed to spark collaboration, build trusted peer networks, and accelerate commercialization.
