AMYBO Event, London – Friday 13 November 2026
Join us for a day of lab tours, talks and discussion about open source bioreactors and sustainable protein at Imperial’s new labs in White City, then dinner nearby for those who sign up. It’s free (buy your own meals, etc.), and if you can’t get to London the talks and some discussion will be live via Google Meet.
AMYBO is a non-profit community working towards Sustainable Protein for All, using hydrogen-oxidising bacteria that make protein from air, water and electricity. Through the CARMA Hub project, Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh have been working with us to develop an aseptic version of our open-source electroPioreactor. This event is the soft launch of our second prototype Aseptic electroPioreactor AEP 0.2. Come and see it running and hear what we’ve learned.
Where
Room 516, the I-HUB, Imperial College White City campus, 84 Wood Lane, London W12 0BZ. The entrance is at what3words: ///violin.edge.walks.
