Events

 Venue: Newmarket Racecourse

The event will provide communication, education and networking opportunities for scientists engaged in drug discovery whether in academia or the life science industry.  

Bench-to-Boardroom was established in 2006 and is a 1 day event which includes an exhibition, leading industry speakers, workshops and technology showcases. 

Venue: Edinburgh

The compounding effects of cheaper and faster computing technology led to wondrous new possibilities such as the Internet and mobile communication; but also cyberstalking, cyberbullying, cyberporn, identity theft, and loss of privacy.

Will DNA sequencing technology be similarly disruptive?

Venue: Cambridge

Anthropologist Dr Margaret Sleeboom-Faulkner  will join Alison Hall from the PHG Foundation to discuss some of the ethical issues arising from the use of genomic technologies in reproductive and prenatal care in developing countries. An event with the Cambridge Humanitarian Centre to mark International Women’s Day.

This is part of a  special  series of seminars from the PHG Foundation who are celebrating 15 years of making science work for health.

Venue:  Nijmegen, the Netherlands

The course will study the relation between technology and (medical) ethics. Focus of the course are the moral problems generated by the research and development and application of new knowledge in a range of emerging fields such as tissue engineering and genomics. The implications give rise to new images of the human being and shift common understanding of health and disease.

Venue: Cambridge, UK 

The Challenge

Your task is to provide an innovative approach to a live challenge presented by an organisation working with current global health issues.

The Global Health Hack Day will engender an atmosphere of entrepreneurship and innovation, bringing together creative people who want to put their knowledge to use to improve health in developing countries.  It is a chance to develop transferrable skills that can be used outside of the seminar room or laboratory.

Venue: Cambridge

This one-day symposium will hear from experts from industry and academia on how they are applying the principles of genome content management to their own data sets. The focus will be on analysing and annotating large volumes of data to turn it into information, and presenting that information to the end user to enable hypotheses to be made and theories proposed.
