The Onyx Guide to London Life Sciences Week
…and our top tips for everyone visiting the city for it.
Federico Citterich
Senior Editor at OnyxHi, I’m Federico.
I’m a senior journalist covering biotech at Onyx News. I’ve compiled this guide to help you make the most of London during the once-a-year gathering that brings 10,000 biotech executives and investors together, making the city the world capital of biotech for the week.
London has a special place in my heart. I did both my degrees here, and it was here that I discovered my passion for science communication and journalism. When I’m not writing for Onyx, you can catch me on Italy’s Canal 9 or read my freelance science reporting in L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s newspaper.
I’ll be filming interviews with life science leaders across London throughout the week. If you’d like to join me on camera, email me at federico@onyxnewsroom.com. I’d love to hear from you.
For a taste of what to expect, watch our reporting from last year’s London Life Sciences Week on Onyx Live (opens in a new tab).
See you in London,
Federico
