The Cambridge Life Sciences Careers Fair gives you the opportunity to meet all students and researchers across the university including undergraduates, MPhils, PhDs and postdocs. Attendees will be interested in learning more about the variety of roles available in the life science sector, from roles in Research & Development as well as a broad range of non-research career paths.

The recent cyberattack on Stryker, a leading medical technology manufacturer, serves as a stark reminder of the escalating risks posed by state-linked cyber threats to commercial organisations. Attributed to the Iran-linked hacktivist group Handala, the attack caused widespread disruption across 79 countries, wiping over 200,000 devices and compromising 50 terabytes of data. The attack underscores the urgent need for robust identity governance, network segmentation, and resilient backup strategies to mitigate the impact of such attacks.

Cambridge entrepreneur Mark Boon has launched Aguila, a new insurance broker in Cambridge, to support founders at the forefront of the exploding life science and deeptech revolutions, unlocking potential for expansion across the UK, EU and US.

Having spent the last five years focussed on the US startup scene, Mark has turned his attention back to Cambridge, together with Co-Founder Luke Chesworth, identifying an unmet need for a deeper understanding by insurance advisers on the emerging risks in this hotbed of intellectual property, AI and compute power.
