January 9th, Diagnostics by Design: A Workshop on the Design, Development and Implementation of Global Health Technologies
Workshop

The Diagnostics by Design workshop is an interdisciplinary forum for discussing the challenges and lessons learned in developing and implementing global health technologies, specifically at the point of care. Through interactive talks, a panel discussion with experts from industry and academia, and a hands-on build session, we will explore the challenges associated with translating technologies beyond the lab. This workshop will draw on the expertise and experience of individuals from across disciplines to explore collaborative solutions to global health issues.

The workshop will feature Columbia Professor and mChip inventor Samuel Sia as the keynote speaker. Food and drink will also be provided throughout the event.
