The theme of this year鈥檚 event was the journey from innovative research to translation and commercialisation, and a celebration of the exciting research collaborations within the institute which are developing fundamental science with translational healthcare potential to benefit people in our region and beyond.

The day featured inspirational talks showcasing work from across our five research themes and a fascinating plenary talk from Professor Peter Coveney, Professor of Physical Chemistry from University College London.  Professor Coveney has collaborated with Insigneo Institute researchers for many years via the EU H2020 Centre of Excellence in Computational Biomedicine, CompBioMed. His talk on 鈥楧igital twins: The virtual future of medicine鈥 provided insights on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

We were also delighted to welcome Professor Maciej Malawski, Director of the Sano Centre for Computational Personalised Medicine from Krakow, Poland who gave a keynote talk and gave us an excellent overview of the Sano Centre鈥檚 work. Sano Centre are collaborative partners of the institute and sit on our new Advisory Group. The Insigneo  Advisory Group also includes representatives from organisations within the University of 91直播 which are strategically aligned with Insigneo such as the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), Centre for Machine Intelligence, DataConnect and 91直播 Centre for Health and Related Research (SCHARR).
