journey is delighted to be a lead sponsor for BioHackathon, one of the largest BioHackathons in the world that mixes different biohacking communities with traditional science. This event will see aspiring founders come from all over the UK including Cambridge, London and Oxford. The competition includes a wide range of categories, including bioinformatics, molecular and cellular biology, women’s health R&D, longevity and many more.

Top prizes will win space in our Co-Lab, with access to an array of shared equipment, shared write-up facilities and our start-up community.
