Medicine at the Crick showcases major advances in biomedical science and raises awareness of the medical implications of major scientific advances. Interested members of the wider UK biomedical community are invited to attend.
About the event
This 19th edition of Medicine at the Crick will be hosted by Andreas Schaefer (The Francis Crick Institute).
A deep understanding of brain activity is vital to comprehend how the brain functions in health and disease. New technologies are driving a paradigm shift in how we approach this complex and challenging task. “Neurotechnologies” are helping to “decode” the brain. Speakers will discuss how these technologies permit us to better investigate brain cancer, tools to restore speech in neurodegenerative disease, and how devices such as “brain-computer interfaces” can restore movement in paralysis.
Programme
Speakers include: Angelique Paulk (Massachusetts General Hospital), Kai Miller (Mayo Clinic), David Brandman (UC Davis Health), Harith Akram (UCL & UCLH) & Mariska Vansteensel (UMC Utrecht).
Lectures will be followed by a Q&A panel discussion and a networking reception for in person attendees until 18.30.
