The Lab Result is a monthly series of evening science talks for Year 12 and 13 students, given by people doing the work. This is the first evening, called Origins, in a UCL lecture room with raked seats and a desk at every row.
Three talks of 20 minutes, with five minutes of questions after each.
Cancer research. Jasmine Symons, biomedical engineering. No Fixed Formula: Finding My Way into Cancer Research. How she came to biomedical engineering, the route from A-levels to a research lab, and what her cancer research involves.
Medicine. Dr Jesse Nwachukwu. So, You Want To Be A Doctor (Maybe). Medicine by the graduate route: a chemistry degree at UCL first, then the GAMSAT into medical school.
The A-level year. Dr Lavan Ganeshkumar, who founded The Lab Result and draws on a PhD in computational chemistry and years of tutoring. Let's Get That A*. Rehearsal, timing, pressure and recovery.
Thursday 10 December 2026. Doors 18:15, talks 18:30 to 20:30. Room 421, Roberts Building, UCL, London WC1E 7JE.
