Description
The last decade has witnessed remarkable development of health-relevant technologies in an array of areas, including the manipulation of biological processes (e.g. gene editing), personalised medicine and drug discovery, crisis and pandemic response, the rise of self-monitoring (wearables), and new hybrids of bodies and machines (machine-computer interfaces or 3D-printed tissue). This session will explore how this diverse suite of technologies for health and human bodies will usher in new understandings of ourselves, new avenues for health care, and new paradigms of global health.
