Growing alternative materials for the fashion industry from fungal mycelium - Afternoon in The Science Basement

​The Science Basement would like to invite you to listen and interact during an Afternoon in the Science Basement. The next speakers of the monthly Fall series, Manuel Arias and Géza Szilvay, from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland will present their work, ‘Growing alternative materials for the fashion industry from fungal mycelium’
Description: Fungal mycelium is an interesting material due to its structural features. Living fungal cells act as the engine for the creation of new exciting biobased materials. In our project, we aim to understand the growing behaviour of mycelium as we develop an industrially scalable process to make a leather-like material that would replace animal and synthetic leather. In this talk, you will learn about our mycelium technology and ongoing research activities from a scientific and design perspective.

P.S. Any PhD student from University of Helsinki or Aalto can give a talk (any topic), contact the email above to find out more 😉

Pertti Neuvonen Symposium – Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics: from Research to Clinical Practice

To honour the late professor Pertti Neuvonen, the Finnish Society of Clinical Pharmacology and the University of Helsinki jointly organize the Pertti Neuvonen Symposium – Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics: from Research to Clinical Practice in November.
Registration: Via e-lomake by November 14, 2021. The registration for the symposium is free of charge. Lunch and coffee/refreshments will be served on both symposium days.
The symposium will be a live event, and local COVID-19 recommendations and restrictions will be followed. We are also looking into the possibility of a hybrid event with remote participation.
