³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Engineering has moved inside the body to innovate like never before. In neuro-science, brain implants can provide ‘psychic’ communication for people with locked-in syndrome. In medication a new technology aims to deliver chemo therapy and other drugs directly to the parts that need them by bubbles in the blood stream. And ingestible electronics are being made to fight disease by sending antibody-directing messages straight from the gut to the brain.

The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 have come together to stage a special event.

Three biomedical engineers at the forefront of their profession worldwide will come to London to join presenter Caroline Steel and discuss their trail-blazing work, answering questions from an audience at the Royal Geographical Society.

Guests:
Tom Oxley (Australia) – Neurologist, and brain implant innovator. Professorial Fellow Melbourne Medical School. CEO of Synchron
Eleanor Stride, OBE (Britain) – Biomedical Engineer, bubble technology innovator. Professor of Biomaterials at the University of Oxford
Khalil Ramadi (UAE) – Nano-roboticist, ingestible electroceuticals innovator, Director of the Ramadi Lab for Advanced Neuro-engineering and Translational Medicine in Abu Dhabi. Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, New York University
