Innovations in medicine and health and where they might lead will be
the topics for discussion during a thought-provoking conference hosted
by the College of Medicine and Health at University College Cork (UCC)
on Friday, 17 November. The conference titled "From molecules to
man: achieving outcomes in healthcare research" will focus on two of
the College's research themes:
1) Vascular Health, Diabetes and Stem Cell Biology
2) Health Services, Health Policy and Population Health Research.
The aim of the conference is to encourage the interface between the
bench sciences and the clinic with a view to developing new approaches
in the effective diagnosis and treatment of disease as well as to
improve patient care through population and health services research.
Presentations at the Conference will also cover other research themes
in the College of Medicine and Health including Cancer, Food and
Health, Infectious Diseases and 'Neuroscience, Mental Health and Pain'.
The keynote address will be presented by Professor Tim O'Brien,
Director of REMEDI (Regenerative Medicine Institute) and Head of
Medicine at NUI Galway, on the Advisory Council for Science Technology
and Innovation: Recommendations for a National Health Research
Strategy.
The conference which is sponsored by Astra Zeneca and Glaxo Smith Kline
(GSK), is being held in Brookfield Health Sciences Complex, UCC on
