Chapters
The Oxbridge Biotech Roundtable currently has eight independent chapters at Oxford, Cambridge, London, Manchester & Glasgow in the UK, and San Diego, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area in the US.
The Oxford and Cambridge chapters serve their respective universities, which were the first campuses to begin OBR chapters. The London chapter serves all universities within the London area, including Imperial College London, University College London, and the campuses of the University of London. OBR is rapidly expanding to new locations, and we were excited to welcome OBR-San Diego, OBR-Manchester & OBR-Glasgow in 2012. If there is no OBR chapter currently serving your area, find out how to start your own here.
