Autumn Glow: Discover life - the bioRN Life Science Cluster Magazine and more news from our vibrant Life Science ecosystem

Dear *|FNAME|* *|LNAME|*,

We are excited to present the very first issue of life - the bioRN Life Science cluster magazine
This magazine offers plenty of reasons to take a closer look at our vibrant life science ecosystem - at the same time, it’s a statement for innovation and Biotech made in Germany. On twelve pages, 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 brings together stories that demonstrate how collaboration drives progress - whether through the new Excellence Cluster SynthImmune, the Health+Life Science Alliance Mannheim Heidelberg or groundbreaking innovation platforms such as BioMed X Institute. We also look at how Inno Growth BW strengthens investment in life sciences and how companies like VERAXA Biotech are putting Heidelberg on the global map. Further highlights are provided by contributions from BIMOVIS on structural biology, Molecular Health on precision medicine through data-driven intelligence and CONCEPT Heidelberg about quality and compliance through professional training. Read the issue here. 

What else happened in October?
Festival of Biologics, 1-3 October in Basel: This year, bioRN was represented with a booth at the Festival of Biologics and organised a PRECISEU panel on the topic >> how the EU regulatory can support ATMP developers<<. We were particularly pleased to meet many members on site who had eagerly taken advantage of the free tickets we were able to provide. 
Nordic Life Science Days, 13-14 November, Gothenburg: This year bioRN represented the Life Science ecosystem with the members KyooBe Tech, PEPperPRINT and FGK Clinical Research at the German Pavilion, organised by the BMBF. The Nordic life science community in fact radiates impressive energy - especially when it comes to pipeline strength, deal activity, and fundraising. Therefor we were able to establish new connections with the Nordic community and explored new opportunities for partnership and innovation. 

HR Breakfast: Empowering leaders in transformation: The bioRN HR Community met to  discuss how HR can support leaders in times of change and how to uncover six essential Future Skills.
