Biotech Meetups Barcelona

Gene Writing & Biotechnology: How We Learned to Program Life (tickets on LUMA)

**For most of history, biology was something we watched happen. In the last decade, it has quietly become something we can design.** ​What does it actually mean to "write" a gene rather than just cut one? Why do scientists now talk about DNA the same way engineers talk about code? And how close are we to a world where medicines, materials and even the food on our plates are built from the cell up? **[*TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED ON LUMA HERE: FROM 12 EUROS*](https://luma.com/rahawnjd?utm_source=meetup)** ​ In this Growth Lab Live session, Marc Güell takes us inside one of the most consequential frontiers of modern science. We look at where CRISPR ends and gene writing begins, why the ability to add new instructions to a genome unlocks things simple editing cannot, and what all of this means for medicine, industry and the founders quietly building the next generation of biotech out of Barcelona. ​**What you will take away:** * ​What synthetic biology actually is, in plain English * ​How gene writing extends what CRISPR started, and why it matters * ​Where engineered biology is already showing up in medicine and industry * ​A realistic timeline for the therapies and technologies people keep hearing about * ​What it takes to turn a lab discovery into a real biotech company ​**About the speaker:** ​Marc Güell is ICREA Research Professor at UPF and head of the Translational Synthetic Biology group. He trained at Harvard Medical School and MIT under George Church, one of the founding figures of modern synthetic biology, before returning to Barcelona to build his own lab. He is an EMBO Young Investigator, holds Spain's National Research Award for Young Talent, and is the founder of Integra Therapeutics, one of several biotech companies he has spun out of his own research. ​Agenda: * ​​1845h - Doors open * ​​​1900h - Talk starts * ​​​2015h - Q&A * ​​2045h - Drinks & Networking Tickets: https://luma.com/rahawnjd?utm_source=meetup ​​​​Join us at Growth Lab, where ambitious minds gather to explore ideas that fuel personal and professional growth. Each session dives into powerful strategies and insights across psychology, philosophy, longevity, economics, and cutting-edge tech — designed to help you unlock your best self. ​​​​Expect thought-provoking talks, interactive discussions, and a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to bettering themselves. Whether you're seeking inspiration, new skills, or meaningful connections, Growth Lab is your space to grow. **Follow us on Instagram: [@Growthlablive](https://www.instagram.com/growthlablive/)** **Join our Meetup Group: [Growth Lab | Barcelona Talks & Events](https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-hkqcaxmp/)**

Biodiversitat transescalar i adaptació climàtica

Des d’un sol organisme fins a tota la ciutat, aquesta exposició convida a reimaginar els espais verds urbans com a laboratoris vius. Descobreix com l’arquitectura i la participació ciutadana poden crear ciutats inclusives i resilients per a totes les espècies, més enllà d’una visió centrada només en l’ésser humà. Durant dos mesos, Fanfa.Lab transforma Benet Corner en una exposició a l’aire lliure que convida a explorar com els espais verds urbans poden esdevenir catalitzadors de creativitat, participació i resiliència davant el canvi climàtic. Connectant teoria i pràctica, el recorregut es planteja des d’una perspectiva transescalar, que abasta des d’organismes individuals fins a l’escala de tota la ciutat. Això permet entendre el jardí urbà no només com un espai local, sinó com un node dins d’un ecosistema més ampli, vinculat a la infraestructura verda i a les estratègies d’adaptació climàtica a diferents nivells. L’exposició integra tots els resultats del projecte: des d’anàlisis ecològiques i mapatges del lloc fins a prototips, artefactes i eines generades durant les diverses activitats de la plataforma. Els visitants podran apreciar com cada taller i sessió participativa ha contribuït a produir coneixement pràctic i tangible, fomentant la biodiversitat urbana i enfortint la resiliència dels espais verds. A més de la dimensió ecològica i arquitectònica, la mostra posa en valor la participació activa de la ciutadania, mostrant com veïns, voluntaris, experts i professionals han col·laborat en tallers de codisseny, prototipatge i activació d’espais. D’aquesta manera, Fanfa.Lab ofereix un llegat tangible i conceptual, reflectit en els artefactes i prototips exposats, que evidencia el poder de l’acció col·lectiva i la innovació social aplicada a l’entorn urbà. Aquesta activitat forma part de Fanfa.lab, un programa de nou mesos que activa Benet Corner com un laboratori pop up d’aprenentatge, cocreació i experimentació, explorant la biodiversitat urbana i la resiliència ecològica i social. Fanfa.lab és presentat per Fanfaluca Collective, creat i comissariat per Jenny Heden Malm, Guilherme Maglio i Gastón Quispe, i compta amb el suport d’AKASHA Hub Barcelona i Fundació Comtal.

Why A/B Testing Sucks - Hatch Mixer Barcelona

**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to our next event: **Why A/B Testing Sucks** Most teams don’t have a problem with running experiments; they have a problem with how they interpret them. This talk shows how our industry’s obsession with p-values, “95% significance,” and single-number uplifts quietly leads to bad product decisions, misunderstood results, and wasted opportunities. Instead of yet another stats lecture, we’ll unpack how A/B tests and p-values can easily get misread in practice and why classical significance testing is so hard to explain to stakeholders. ⁠Then, we’ll explore a more intuitive way to talk about experiments: in terms of the probability of uplift, minimum expected impact, and business value, not arbitrary thresholds. You’ll walk away with practical guidance and report patterns you can use tomorrow. So that your A/B tests stop “sucking” and start supporting clearer, more honest decisions in your product team. **Speaker** Dr.-Ing. Maximilian Speicher is Director of Product Design at BESTSECRET. His (research) interests lie primarily with novel ways to do UX research and design, responsible and sustainable design, and beyond-screen and physical–digital interaction. He is also a freelance UX and product consultant, plays ringtennis, and blogs at maxspeicher.com/newsletter. **Hosts** This event is hosted by UX Hub BCN in partnership with Hatch Conference **Location:** Wallapop HQ **To join us, just:** ✅ RSVP here on Meetup ✅ RSVP here on Hatch conference - https://mixers.hatchconference.com/e/barcelona-uxhub ✅ Answer [this form](https://48db4b2d.sibforms.com/serve/MUIFALfB0bn_p1G9zS7yYICl8fr4aT-cjBYl7Ow1DKvi6gv1FzDSE3Dt9fmIH5k78PONlJNEn2S6UnpOuo_VNIeUd69dkI5RJ0kaw7TjtxPjtwYy8KKc80BkMTozTqyRXiKCcXK9G8y-NccOB4S1Ci0SPkuWLJ5BCVWC80yGZ9bhinpCpoBKNV5cyovr3wH4BWM1_lNTf8IsVTvO) **Details:** 🗓️ Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026 ⏰ Time: 18:30 CET 📍 Location: Wallapop HQ **Why You’ll Love It:** Learn how to stop misinterpreting A/B tests and start making clearer, more confident product decisions with frameworks and reporting patterns you can use tomorrow. **Agenda:** 18:30\-19:00 \| Doors open 19:00–19:15 \| Introduction 19:15–18:55 \| Talk 18:55–19:15 \| Live Q&A **Educational partners:** [Interaction Design Foundation](https://ixdf.org/) [Uxcel](https://uxcel.com/?utm_medium=paid%20search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=brand&utm_term=uxcel&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=23478421564&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23478421564&gbraid=0AAAAAoYVYnfrZ5Yt8YP5nzmg5PiQ4LvIK&gclid=CjwKCAjw6rfSBhAqEiwA_yocppX7EENM8-y2gWRMnWIprvZnHOrWMLhhAxQKPof1jyFAryWd1HY_ERoCJIQQAvD_BwE) **Sponsor:** [Uxia](https://www.uxia.app/) **P.S.** Please make sure to show up on time.

Speed Networking, Find Your Next Collaborator/Mentor/Friend for Woman in Tech

**Event Summary** 5 minutes. Two woman. A spark. Rotate through 1-on-1 conversations with 15+ women in tech and find your next partner, mentor, co-founder, or collaborator. **Description** Want to meet interesting women in tech without the pressure? This is speed networking — a gentle, human format where you have 1-on-1 conversations with women you'd actually want to know. No pitches. No performing. Just real talks with real people. **How it works:** You sit across from someone. You have 5 minutes to talk. Ask each other what you're building, what you're curious about, what you're working through. A soft bell rings. You move to the next person. By the end of 90 minutes, you've met a dozen women — some become collaborators, some become friends, some just remind you why you love this work. **Who's this for?** Woman in tech, Founders, engineers, designers, product managers, mentors, marketing, etc. anyone building or exploring in tech. Early-stage or scaling. Experienced or just starting. All we ask is genuine curiosity and an open heart. Whether you're looking for a co-founder, a mentor, a peer who gets it, or just interesting people to learn from — there's space for you here. **Why this format?** It feels like a real conversation, not networking. Because it is. Meet quality over quantity. 5 minutes is enough to know if there's real connection. Unexpected friendships. Sometimes the person who changes your trajectory isn't who you were looking for. Share what you know. If you've got experience, there's someone here who'd love to learn from you. If you're early-stage, there's someone who remembers what that felt like. Just women being humans together. No competition. No ego. Just real. **What to bring:** Yourself. Your ideas. Your phone (LinkedIn app open and ready). We'll provide prompts to get conversations started if you need them. After the event you can stay for a non-structured networking to keep going the conversation. We'll add you to a WhatsApp group so you can follow up with the people you connected with. The magic happens in the DMs — so show up ready to be proactive. **WhatsApp Group:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL)
