About Me - Dr Shara B.A. Cohen
I have been interested in science for longer than I care to remember, being a member of the British Association of Young Scientists from the age of 15. In the 80's I studied Applied Biology (BSc-1985) and went on to focus on Immunology (PhD-1989). I then took my research to New York for a few years, returning to the UK in 90's where I became a senior scientist, university lecturer and head of a research group. I left mainstream science on the birth of my first daughter in 2000 and established and currently manage Euroscicon . I also founded and oversee Mums in Science. I have over 100 scientific papers, books and book chapters and have been active in bringing science to the non-scientist, by written communications and television. I am also a scientific consultant and sit on several advisory boards. I live in London with my husband, two daughters and two cats If you want to know even more about me (why?) please click here
About My Work
I run a company called Euroscicon which specializes in producing unique Life Science Events. Our meetings offer scientists a valuable opportunity to move forward with current research, methodological and technical developments, with a good mix of high quality talks from both academic speakers and companies. I also established the popular science portal - Mums in Science - for busy mums who work or have worked in any area of science (and am currently the Chief Executive Officer). More information about Euroscicon and Mums in Science can be found in the right hand column My sites

We held a really interesting and topical meeting “Genomics and Chemical Space: a new locus for drug discovery” last Friday, October 12th 2007.
This meeting dealt with the concepts of ‘biological space’ – structural genomics and computation – and ‘chemical space’ – identifying fragments and how they interact and how these may be exploited to identify potential drug targets and drug molecules. more » Friday, October 5

Dr Claire Morgan

The UKRC is delighted to announce that JobshareUK at www.jobshare-uk.com went live on 17th September. Because we recognise that it can be especially difficult to find flexible or part-time work in the sectors of science, engineering, technology and the built environment, RETURN became a partner in JobshareUK, with Equals One & Encore Recruitment and Working Families. The aim of JobshareUK is to offer quality flexible working and job share opportunities across the SET sectors in a wide variety of positions across the UK.
