Top Biotechnology Events to Attend in 2025: Shaping the Future of Life Sciences

• Oxford
• On-site
• Mid-level · manages people
• Permanent

Leads the end-to-end event delivery workflow for gene edited and transgenic crops, from transformation output through sampling, molecular confirmation, QC review and handover. Designs and validates genotyping assays (PCR, qPCR, ddPCR, KASP, NGS) and builds stage-gate criteria, LIMS-enabled tracking and vendor strategies across corn and wheat programmes.

Endpoint PCR · qPCR · ddPCR +6

• New York, United States
• Remote
• Senior · manages people

Leads clinical development strategy and execution across oncology and rare disease programs, overseeing early and late-stage trials, regulatory interactions, and biomarker-driven study design. Manages teams of clinical scientists and medical directors while embedding AI, machine learning, and real-world data into trial design and evidence generation.

Recursion OS

• Cambridge
• On-site
• £38,448 – £46,970 pa
• Entry level
• Contract

Primarily experimental wet-lab postdoc developing programmable nucleic-acid systems that sense defined human genomic sequences and convert molecular recognition into engineered DNA outputs, with applications to genetic privacy. Based in the Department of Genetics, the role involves hands-on design, construction and troubleshooting of novel molecular systems plus quantitative analysis of assay performance to guide experimental iterations.

• Norwich
• £21,805 pa
• Entry level
• Contract

A multi-disciplinary protein biochemistry PhD using engineering biology to develop bacterial and human ferritins as nanocage platforms for encapsulating small molecules, peptides and proteins. The work involves protein purification, bioanalytical methods, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and microscopy, targeting biocatalysis and therapeutic/diagnostic delivery applications.

Ferritin

• Maidenhead
• Mid-level

Conducts and oversees site monitoring visits, managing site initiation, monitoring and closeouts while ensuring patient safety, data integrity and GCP compliance. Supports feasibility assessments, investigator recruitment and vendor coordination, and mentors junior team members. Requires Phase I patient-study experience within a client-dedicated FSP team.

• Larbert
• Lead · manages people

Lead the development of next-generation electrochemical biosensors and diagnostic assays while remaining hands-on in experimental design, data interpretation and sensor development. The role spans electrochemistry, sensor engineering, biofunctionalisation, assay development and manufacturability, working with scientists, engineers and commercial teams to turn concepts into viable diagnostic products. It combines scientific leadership and mentoring with deep technical involvement rather than pure management.
