MedTech Webinar: How will biosensors change healthcare? 

Date
May
7
Time 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Categories Public Lecture

Imagine being able to detect when a virus enters the country. Or imagine detecting when a patient with a chronic disease is about to have a clinical episode. New sensor technologies are going to dramatically reframe healthcare.

What happens when we can interface with the brain? What about when we can use external cell sensors to assess drug interactions? Sensor technologies could be used to evaluate vaccines or calibrate individual dose requirements for medications.

Sensors that measure what is happening in a cell or across clusters of cells will allow us to focus on preventative and individualised healthcare. Instead of relying on pathology results or physiological variables for recognising conditions, we may be able to recognise them from interfacing with cells.

Join the Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD) and the Graeme Clark Institute in this webinar on biosensors. We will show the diversity of sensor applications and their potential impact on healthcare – especially their ability to move us to a preventative intervention model rather than a treatment and rehabilitation model.

 

MCF Seminar Series: How Traditional Owners are powering the clean energy transition  

Date
May
15
Time 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Categories Seminar or Forum

The clean energy transition will occur on vast tracts of Australian Traditional Owners’ Country. Much has been written on this trend, yet until now exactly how Traditional Owners are managing and benefiting from large-scale wind, solar and green hydrogen projects on their Country has been known only to the handful of people who negotiate the commercial-in-confidence agreements for these projects.

This seminar presents recently completed qualitative research that looks behind this wall of confidentiality to present startling and very welcome findings, including that, unlike for mining, oil and gas projects, Traditional Owners have a legal veto over large-scale clean energy projects.
