From 19 to 21 May researchers from across Norwich Research Park will be sharing their exciting science at pubs and venues across our fine city of Norwich.

Here’s some of the exciting science our researchers will be talking about:

Sticking Together: When Microbes Unite In Biofilms

Join for an exciting evening uncovering the world of biofilms—microbial communities causing chronic infections, antibiotic resistance, and contamination.

Taking place on Monday 19 May at the Whalebone from 7.30 to 9.30pm the event includes:

• Biofilms: From Helpful Habitats to Healthcare Headaches with our PhD student Josh Horton

Book tickets for the “Sticking together” event

Spoonful of Science: Serving Up Nutrition Knowledge

Come along for a fascinating evening exploring how diet and nutrition impact our health, particularly in relation to gut health, disease prevention, and early development. Whether you’re interested in how dietary fibres can manage gut conditions or how early life nutrition shapes lifelong health, this event promises to reveal the cutting-edge research shaping our understanding of the body.

This event is happening on Tuesday 20 May at the Whalebone pub from 7.30 to 9.30pm. Discover our research on:

• Funky fibres – gel-forming dietary fibres for IBS Management with Dr Amisha Modasia

Go with Your Gut: Gut Microbes in Health and Disease

Our gut hosts trillions of microbes that shape our health, but what happens when this balance is disrupted? Explore the immune system’s role, the gut-brain connection, and how microbes influence well-being and disease. We’ll also discuss the future of gut microbiome therapies, including Faecal Microbiota Transplants.

Join us on Wednesday 21 May at Cafe Bar Marzano from 7.30 to 9.30pm to hear from our researchers on the topics of:
