BioBeat is joining the One Nucleus hub for life science innovation

Cambridge, UK: 23 October 2025

The exciting new chapter for BioBeat begins with One Nucleus! BioBeat, connecting entrepreneurs with biotech leaders, is joining the One Nucleus hub for life science innovation. One Nucleus supports companies of all sizes through networking, training and thought leadership.

For the past twelve years, BioBeat has energised the UK life sciences scene through delivering an informed conversational forum for ideas exchange, challenging norms and future scoping among leaders in the biotech industry. What started as a bold idea to inspire and connect talent has grown into a vibrant, highly anticipated annual event.  BioBeat has become much more than a conference; it’s a community, an opportunity for debate, collaborations and the kind of inspiration that sticks with you long after the last session ends.

At the heart of BioBeat’s energy and success is its founder, Miranda Weston-Smith. Her vision, dedication and infectious enthusiasm have evolved BioBeat from a small idea into a flagship event. Through the annual BioBeat summit and the 50 Movers & Shakers in BioBusiness report, Miranda has consistently spotlighted emerging trends, talent, celebrated achievements and created meaningful and lasting connections across industry, academia and investment. Her dedication has left a lasting impact on the life sciences community.

Aligning with the One Nucleus ethos of nurturing a trusted environment to stimulate collaborations and deal flow through which innovation thrives, BioBeat is an ideal addition to the One Nucleus stable of events. With Miranda remaining in an advisory capacity, responsibility for the event is now transitioning to One Nucleus, bringing the event into one of the most dynamic and exciting life sciences networks in the industry. This change is not just a handover; it’s an opportunity to amplify BioBeat’s impact, broaden its reach and create even more impactful moments for the community.  With BioBeat now under the direction of One Nucleus, the event retains its signature spirit: inclusive, inspiring and buzzing with energy, while gaining access to One Nucleus’s expansive network, resources and reach.

For those who have attended BioBeat over the years, this new era will feel both familiar and progressive whilst retaining the core values Miranda has built upon when celebrating talent, sparking conversation, and championing innovation. With so much information and data available online and an ever-increasing pressure for innovators and company builders to be efficient in this global industry, the value of such engaged select forums built on communities is enhanced to enable companies to be the best version of themselves ahead of embarking on their next pitch, partnering meeting or corporate development strategy. Limited to approximately 100 attendees, BioBeat will continue to deliver informative content and inspiration in a safe environment where it is perfectly acceptable to question the norm.

Of course, we must pause to thank Miranda. Founding and nurturing BioBeat for over ten years has required vision, passion and dedication. Miranda’s commitment has shaped a legacy that will inspire and connect leaders for years to come. Passing the baton is never easy, but her work ensures that BioBeat is poised for a brilliant future.  Miranda adds, ‘I am thrilled that BioBeat will be part of the One Nucleus family. They have supported BioBeat since its very inception and this has meant a lot. The team is super!’.

A note for your calendars: BioBeat26 will take place at The Nucleus, Chesterford Research Park, on Thursday 14 May.  Plans are taking shape with potential key topics for discussion at this time when the biotech sector is changing faster than ever before. We look forward to the first of a new era of BioBeat being just as vibrant and inspiring as the first.

If you would like to be involved in BioBeat26 and help shape the content, sponsor or simply attend, it is never too early to get in touch. Please contact Philippa Clark on [email protected] for an informal discussion in the first instance.
