The RSC and the KCL Medical Engineering Centre are hosting a workshop on Imaging Probes for Human Health. The forthcoming workshop aims to stimulate multidisciplinary links, discussion and collaborations between academic and industry researchers on imaging probes. The workshop will focus on research working across platforms PET, NMR, Ultrasound and microscopy, pre-clinically and clinically. The meeting will also be used to inform funding bodies and to raise awareness of the role of collaboration in healthcare innovation.
Programme
The event ran from 10 am to 5 pm at The Chemistry Centre, Burlington House on Thursday 27th October 2011. The day was structured around a mixture of presentations, posters, discussions and networking sessions, to facilitate multidisciplinary connections and collaborations.
Objectives and outcomes
The scope of this meeting was broad, and the workshop provided an opportunity for knowledge sharing around imaging probe research. This included a wide range of technologies as well as the design, synthesis and clinical applications of probes.
A major objective was to discuss how the sector can capitalise on cross-sector partnerships, both those which already exist and future opportunities. As imaging probes become an increasingly important part of medical technology, the workshop aimed to provide a clear coherent message to the wide range of stakeholders present, including funding bodies, professional bodies, charities and government departments.
Participants
The event drew participants from a wide range of backgrounds, including:
