MMI SEMINAR
7TH APRIL 2010
Capturing the benefits of research for health, jobs and innovation
Advances in genomic and proteomic research are changing our understanding of human health and disease. How do we ensure that these advances in research are translated into better outcomes for patients and advances in population health? How do we link the expertise of our researchers with that of our health services so patients benefit, new jobs are created and Ireland’s knowledge economy grows?
Molecular Medicine Ireland invites you to attend a seminar to explore these issues on Thursday 7 April from 18:00 to 19:30 hrs at Studio 1 in the Science Gallery, Naughton Institute, Trinity College, Pearse St, Dublin 2.
Two international leaders in genomic and proteomic research will address the seminar:
Dr Alan Winter, President and CEO of Genome BC, will speak from a Canadian and British Columbian perspective on the best way to encourage the translation of health research into the health system and the potential benefits to society; and
Dr Frank Giles, recently appointed Professor of Cancer Therapeutics at NUI Galway and Trinity College Dublin and an international authority on the development of new drugs to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), will address the challenge of translating the benefits of health research in Ireland.
Tom Lynch, Chairman of Molecular Medicine Ireland, will introduce the speakers and chair the discussion.
A wine reception will follow the seminar.
