Innovations in Design & Engineering in MedTech 23rd September 13:00-18:30
Our September MedTech Links event explores how Imperial’s highly innovative research is being translated into new medical technologies for patients and their clinicians. New discoveries and advancements in medical science require novel approaches to the design and engineering of MedTech. Join us to find out how our researchers and clinicians bring new ideas and engineering approaches to medical technologies and unmet clinical needs.
Organised in collaboration with the 4D Health Tech Network, this event aims to showcase new medtech innovations underway at Imperial, with a focus on the design and engineering work that goes into creating them.
Tuesday 23rd September 2025, 13:00-18:30, with Reception from 17:00
Venue: Royal School of Mines Building, Imperial, South Kensington, SW7 2AZ
