Every four years, including this year, we are given a day in February, February 29: in various sectors - from economy to agriculture - the leap year requires adjustments and fine-tuning to deal with the extra time. We are using this day and the time to reflect on sustainable action. A follow-up event to the previous BioRN Espresso on the topic of sustainability is already in progress.

But let's now turn to the events of this month: 
Having a vibrant BioRN-Lounge with Jens Puschhof on the topic of „The Microbiome in Cancer and beyond“, (read Jens´personal anekdote with the Lounge here), February was just around the corner and with it great news and freshly taylored events for the Life Science ecosystem.

Together with the newly assembled BioRN scientific advisory board, we have decided above this year´s conference topic: >>New Therapeutic Modalities in Personalised Medicine<< . 
Stay tuned at our website and contact us, should you be interested in receiving the exhibitor and sponsoring packages.

BioRN is a highly sought-after cluster when it comes to passing on experience from 26 years of successful cluster work to regions, that want to develop its potential as a life science hub. This month a delegation from Barbados and Guyana visited our Cluster with the aim to create a clear understanding of the work and functioning of European Technology Transfer Offices.
