Healthcare Technologies of the Future

Image from Event: Healthcare Technologies of the Future

With technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and technological advances in genomics and gene modification, as well as synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and improved access to treatment through digital technologies all looking to impact how we approach healthcare, never before has the future of the sector looked so bright.

The Healthcare Technologies of the Future Conference 2018, sponsored by MIT and Oxford University, offers a one-day opportunity to engage with two of the world’s most renowned universities to explore the many ways healthcare will be transformed.

The conference will feature key opinion leaders from both universities, industry leaders, and startup company executives connected to Oxford and MIT who are working to make this future a reality. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest healthcare technologies, discuss collaborative opportunities over lunch, and network with academic leaders, healthcare providers, investors, and global industry partners.

This is the first event of its kind to be held in partnership between Oxford University and MIT and will take place at the stunning new Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre at Worcester College, Oxford on 27th September 2018.
