RSC Symposium: Integrating chemistry, engineering and biology to create the next generation of vaccines

30 March 2026 in Cambridge, UK

This event aims to bring together physical scientists and life scientists to devise new approaches to vaccines that could have great impact on human and animal health. The symposium will be hosted in the beautiful and historic Queens’ College in the centre of Cambridge. Through talks and posters and discussions, attendees will consider some of the latest approaches to create effective vaccines, exchange ideas, and nucleate collaborations to overcome existing barriers.

The latest vaccines have depended upon advances in areas including nanotechnology, lipid/carbohydrate/nucleic acid modification, genomics, computational design, analytical chemistry and atomic resolution structural analysis. The event is intended to welcome life scientists without a background in physical sciences, as well as physical scientists with no background knowledge of the immune system or vaccines but who have an interest to explore possible applications of their research. The event is organised through RSC Biotechnology Group, in partnership with Cambridge University Engineering Biology Interdisciplinary Research Centre.
