What’s on
A series of exciting events dedicated to supporting, sharing and celebrating Sussex research. Coming soon for 2025!
Widening Access to Biomedical Technology in the Global South
Join us for presentations and a lively panel discussion from our leading researchers at Sussex Neuroscience.
Biomedical science is under rapid technological change, but access to cutting-edge resources for research and healthcare can be very problematic in the lower and middle-income countries where most of the world’s population lives. But there is a parallel movement towards widening the availability of healthcare technologies, enabled by key advances in cheap consumer electronics, rapid prototyping, and new approaches to processing data. This could lead to free exchange of open-source resources 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 this session to bring complementary perspectives on this phenomenon and initiate a stimulating discussion.
Panel, hosted by Prof. Miguel Maravall:
- Andre Maia Chagas, Open Neuroscience
- Iris Asllani, Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre
- TBC, Global Health Centre of Excellence
Whether you're a student, staff, or just curious about the topic - all are welcome.
Please go ahead and register for your free ticket here.
This event is part of the Summer of Research 2025, a two-week festival of researcher-led talks, workshops and exhibitions celebrating our fantastic research here at the University of Sussex. Find out about and sign up for other exciting events here!
