Pint of Science: Growing 3D Tissues Outside the Body
93 Feet East 150 Brick Lane, London E1 6QL
During our life time the tissues of our body get damaged. Exercise, eating well and reduced stress among other factors are important for leading a healthy life style. When we are healthy, many of our tissues have the unique capacity to repair and regenerate. Sometimes, our tissues cannot repair themselves any more because of genetic factors, aging or severe injuries. What can we do to fix it? Join Dr Shukry Habib to explore the pioneering methods in engineering human tissues in the lab to repair damaged organs. For more information click here .

Science Museum - Lates
"The Next Big Thing - in collaboration with the Royal Society"
The Science Museum’s Lates is a free night for adults that takes place on the last Wednesday of the month. Lates have a different theme each month. On Wednesday 24th June, Dr Shukry Habib (Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, King's College London) will be presenting...
Asymmetry in Art, Nature and Stem Cells
Have you ever considered the similarities between art and science? Did you know that irregularity shapes our lives? Join Dr Habib as he uses stunning imagery to explore the beauty of being different. Places limited to 50 visitors.
Location: The Launchpad Briefing Room
Times: 7:30 - 8:00pm, 8:15 - 8:45pm and 9:00 - 9:30pm.
For more details, please visit the Science Museum website.
Please be aware that Lates is incredibly popular, which means you may have to queue before a timed event. Please arrive early to ensure you have the best possible chance of getting in.
