Description
Helix biochemistry - Unzipping your genes since 1964!
Who are we?
Helix is THE no.1... and only Biochemistry Society at UoB and the best community for those starting out in Bristol. We run a wide variety of socials each month, throughout the year, such as pub crawls, bowling, pottery painting & more! This year we will be offering careers support with CV & Cover letter workshops, internship webinars and science days out. Furthermore, through our network you can join a student family in your first few weeks who will support you throughout your time here. 💪
Socials & Balls
From pub golf to fancy balls, we‘ve got you covered! Our socials will kick off in the first week of term and carry on through the academic year, keeping your exam dates in mind. We run boozy and booze-free events, so there truly is something for everybody. 😎
For all our social and event info, smash a follow on our Insta & TikTok and join the Freshers Groupchat:

Inclusivity & Charity
As a student community for all biochemists, inclusivity is our top priority. As such, we have sub-communities for BAME, LGBTQIA+ and a Womans group which will organise their own events alongside our main socials. We are so lucky to host such brilliant diversity on our course, so we aim to celebrate this throughout all our efforts in the coming year! Furthermore, we are committed to support at least two charitable causes – currently Coppafeel and Macmillan.
If you have any questions or suggestions, contact our Equalities Officer, Shakirah ~ (pz23066@bristol.ac.uk).
