Join Constantin Coussios, Statutory Chair of Biomedical Engineering, University of Oxford and Miranda Seymour, English literary critic, novelist, and biographer to imagine today’s ‘Monster’!

Mary Shelley written the novel today, what new developments in genetics, bioengineering and electrophysiology would have inspired her? What would her ‘monster’ look like, and how would she paint the misadventures of Dr Victor Frankenstein? Could such a scientist even exist in today’s world? Join us for a fascinating evening of talks and discussion about this enigmatic writer, the science of Frankenstein, and its modern-day equivalents.
