The Cambridge Philosophical Society is holding its first lecture of the Michaelmas term entitled, Diagnostics Without Frontiers: A Regenerable Supply Chain For PCR In Low Resource Countries, on Monday 14 October 2024 from 6.00pm to 7.00pm.
The Speaker is Professor Lisa Hall FRSC CBE, CEB's very own Professor of Analytical Biotechnology.
Abstract: The dynamics of infectious disease (ID) require fast accurate diagnosis for effective management and treatment. Without affordable, accessible diagnostics, syndromic or presumptive actions are often followed, where positive cases may go undetected in the community, or mistreated due to wrong diagnosis. In many low and middle income countries (LMICs), this undermines effective clinical decision-making and infectious disease containment.
The lecture is free and open to all who are interested - please check our website for latest updates and recommended booking information.
