Nick Hogan
(Nutromics)
Working for a start-up company can be exciting, working for a start-up that incorporates DNA scientists, electro-chemists, mechanical engineers and doctors developing a medical device can be challenging! Join Nutromics scientist Nick Hogan to learn what a wearable biosensor is and how our team is developing them to revolutionize healthcare.
Sugar Polymers and Tissue Repair
Brooke Farrugia
(University of Melbourne)
In our body a type of sugar polymer known as glycosaminoglycans are responsible for regulating numerous biological processes. This talk will look at how we can engineer materials to mimic these sugar polymers to develop new therapeutics.
