MedTechONE : Imperial MedTech Links
Innovations in Medical Diagnostics Technologies
Thursday 18th April 1pm- 5:30pm, plus reception from 5:30 onwards.
You are warmly welcomed to attend the latest event in the Imperial MedTech Links series exploring Imperial College innovations in Medical Diagnostics Technologies. Molecular, sequencing, AI and data analytics tools are rapidly changing the world of diagnostics in all disease areas. Hear from Imperial College researchers and clinicians about their work and learn about how we are translating research into products which can be used by clinicians and their patients. We will also let you know about our capabilities and how you might access our laboratories.
