Welcome to the website of Society for Biological Engineering Student Chapter Chalmers. Here you can find information about the society and our partners, our coming and previous events how to become a member (and why!) and of course how you easily can contact us. As a member of this chapter you will be a part of a world wide network, which grants the ability to expand your knowledge in biotechnology, chemistry and interconnected studies, with the opportunity to meet people sharing your interest for biological and chemical engineering. Our student chapter is open for students as well as post docs, professors and anyone with interest.

So what are you waiting for? Join us by clicking here, and let's explore!

WELCOME TO SBE STUDENT CHAPTER CHALMERS

Infolunch + agar plate competition

Hi everyone! The time has come to recruit a new board for SBE Student Chapter Chalmers 19/20 and for that purpouse we would like to welcome you all to an info meeting during lunch Friday the 5th of April in KS1. During the meeting each of the current board members will tell you more about their role in SBE and you are most welcome to ask us any questions!

After the board presentations we will initiate a fun "agar plate" competition, where you will divide into teams and each team receive an agar plate. Then you will get a few minutes to find a surface of your choosing, that you think is full of microbes, and press the surface against you agar plate. Returning to KS1 we will collect your plates and store them properly to promote bacterial growth. On lunch, Wednesday the 10th of April you can come by the Chemistry Entrance to view the results. The coolest plate will be crowned winner and its group receive a nice prize!
You do not want to miss this!


Do you as a bachelor student have no clue about what master to take? Or do you as a master student struggle to find the right PhD position? Relax, we can help you find some inspiration and the right contacts!

Welcome to the annual Study Visit at the Department of Biology and Biological Engineering the 26th of February! You will have the chance to speak to representatives of each of the four divisions:
- Food and Nutrition Science
- Industrial Biotechnology
- Systems- and Synthetic Biology
- Chemical Biology
and also visit the labs and venues of one of them.

The study visit will take about 1h & 15 min and the preliminary schedule is that we first meet in the Chemistry Entrance at 17 or the SysBio Kitchen at 17.15 (Floor 6). Then we will receive a brief presentation of each of the four divisions between 17.30-18.00. After that you will have the opportunity to visit a chosen division in smaller groups between 18.00-18.30 and ask questions to the division representatives. Fika will be served in the SysBio Kitchen, hope to see you there!

Are you curious about the cutting edge gene editing technology CRISPR/Cas9 and what research it can be applied to? Join us for an inspiring webinar lunch the 7th of February in KA together with Raphael Ferreira, a PhD student at the Systems & Synthetic biology Department at Chalmers. Raphael's work focuses mainly on developing novel CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tools for metabolic engineering purposes and he recently returned from a research visit at MIT, where CRISPR technologies was applied on cancer research.

Movie Night with SBE!

Join us for a fun & inspiring movie night on thursday 27/9 at 17.30 in 10:an, tenth floor in Chemistry Building. The theme for the night will be ethics in biotechnology and we will be watching the renowned Netflix original film Okja by South Korean director Joon-ho Bong.

Snax & Sodas will be provided by us, hope to see you there!

Open Mic: Women in Biosciences and Bioengineering (20 Mar 2018)

As a team of five young women the SBE board this year cannot overlook the topic of women in biosciences and bioengineering. We understand even though we study and live in one of the best countries to be a female scientist and engineer at, there are unfortunately still many hurdles on the way.

If you want to hear about the journey of three great women in biotechnology, come and join our open mic on March 20!

Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede, a head of the Chemical Biology division, leads a research group focusing on metalloprotein mechanisms and protein misfolding and has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers. She is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and one of the six women under Chemistry until today.

Dina Petranovic Nielsen, an associate professor in molecular biology, leads a research group investigating cell aging and death using yeast as a model organism. In addition, her group studies biopharmaceutical production in yeast. Besides from being a teacher, supervisor and examiner at Chalmers, she is also a CEO of a non-profit organization Molecular Frontiers.

Sepideh H. Hagvall is an associate principal scientist at AstraZeneca and an adjunct professor at University of Skövde. Her research focuses on tissue engineering and translational science. She also supervises young scientists in the field.

Ps. We hope to see also many men in the audience as true equality, of course, lies in the hands of all.


Date: Tue 20 March 2018
Time: 17:30 – 19:00
Room: KS1 (Chemistry building)
