ÈÕº«ÎÞÂë

Biomedical science is under rapid technological change, but access to modern resources for research and healthcare can be very problematic in the lower and middle-income countries where most of the world’s population lives. However, there is a growing parallel movement towards open-source technologies for bioscience research and healthcare, enabled by key advances in cheap consumer electronics, rapid prototyping, and new approaches to processing data – with Sussex colleagues being at the forefront in some of these areas. If given enough support, this movement could lead to the free exchange of crucial – and open-source – resources for biomedical research and ultimately a step change in local testing, diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Colleagues working in different centres at Sussex – Sussex Neuroscience, the Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre, Global Health or SPRU – will unite at the session to share their complementary perspectives and trigger discussion on how Sussex can contribute to progress in this crucial new field.

Panel, hosted by l (Sussex Neuroscience; Life Sciences): 

• , Sussex Neuroscience and Open Research Technologies Hub; Life Sciences
• , Sussex Neuroscience; Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre; BSMS
• Centre for Global Health Research; BSMS
• , SPRU; Sussex Business School

Whether you're a student, staff, or just curious about the topic - all are welcome.
