BactiVac's 5th Annual Network Meeting 2024 is being hosted in collaboration with The Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU) at the Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The meeting is open to Network members only and will give invaluable opportunities for networking with other experts in the field of bacterial vaccine development and delivery.

A two day workshop bringing together experts from the clinic, academia and industry to explore how we could predict or prevent seizures through long-term monitoring of seizure triggers using wearable devices and EEG headbands.

Two day annual conference for the N-CODE Network+ to bring together professionals from healthcare, the neurotechnology industry, academics, funders, charities and those with lived experience to discuss the latest innovations and research in developing technologies that enable community-based diagnosis and management of neurological conditions for the benefit of patients.

Birmingham Inflammation, Repair and Ageing Conference (BIRA) 10th & 11th June 2024

The event is designed to enhance interactions between the UK research community with interests in cancer metabolism research, highlighting the research of our early career researchers. It will include a poster session, a short talks from each of the research groups invited, and a chance to network during a drinks and nibbles session on 27th. Due to space limitations, this event is on a first come, first served basis, so please do sign up early to attend.

A one day hybrid workshop aiming to foster a comprehensive understanding and collaborative approach towards the integration, advancement, and technopreneurship of emerging technologies in healthcare, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By focusing on the recent technological leaps in biotechnology and telemedicine, participants will explore the challenges and opportunities in developing, validating, and deploying these innovations for global health equity. The workshop will provide a multidisciplinary platform to discuss, strategize, and propose actionable solutions that address the holistic needs of sustainable healthcare development. Through presentations, interactive sessions, and collaborative discussions, attendees will gain insights into effectively aligning technological advancements with the SDGs, ensuring that healthcare development is sustainable, inclusive, and accessible to all.

In this international event to celebrate the first two 1.2 GHz NMR instruments in the UK, we will showcase the contribution of NMR spectroscopy at ultra-high-field to the elucidation of biological mechanisms. In addition, we will discuss the future of NMR, in particular with respect to the integration of NMR spectroscopy in hybrid structural biology approaches.

The event is open to national and international doctoral students and researchers from both academia and industry.

Conference lunch and refreshments (a.m. and p.m.) included.

We look forward to seeing you in Birmingham!

This two-day conference will foster debate amongst researchers, policymakers and professional representatives to better understand the socio-cultural and political pressures facing healthcare professionals following the COVID-19 pandemic, and to understand how these pressures are transforming healthcare professionalism.

Healthcare professionalism is conceptualised as an inherently political construct that is shaped by the expectations of multiple stakeholders and where professionals themselves negotiate these expectations in their practice, culture and identity.

In the contemporary, post-pandemic period, healthcare systems face significant resource constraints and workforce shortages; the possibilities and risks of new technologies, especially AI in the re-shaping of care; and growing appreciation of pervasive health disparities and the need to remodel services towards more preventative health improvement.

Such demands call for health professionalism to be re-imagined at the cultural and political levels. The aim of the conference is to establish a new global research agenda that will set the direction of scholarship and professional development for the next decade by encouraging international comparative research and cross-national thinking The conference will be themed to facilitate focused discussion and learning across presentations.

The event will also include an optional roundtable session for early career researchers.

Themes to include:

Theme 1: Knowledge and practice under pressure
Theme 2: Working out/through boundaries and connections
Theme 3: Organisational and Technological Innovation
Theme 4: Professions, Publics and Polity

This British Academy/Wellcome Trust conference is a transdisciplinary gathering of clinicians and humanities scholars from around the world. A key goal of the conference is to bring the insights of practitioners and scholars to bear on each other’s fields of experience and expertise in order to yield fresh methodological possibilities and interpretative avenues.

The conference will explore two interconnected questions: How does laughter in all its complexity impact on medical care, illness and well-being, health care providers and patients? and How does the history of artistic and cultural representations of laughter in medical contexts, reflect or make sense of diverse medical experiences and function in relation to larger ideological, philosophical and other discourses?

Confirmed conference presentations will thus address comic representations of physicians and disease in literature and the spatial and temporal arts in classical, medieval and modern Western cultures, but also examine laughter’s role in the professional activities and ethics of physicians, specialists of mental and sexual health and dentists. They will also investigate the stakes of these representations and practices from the perspectives of philosophy, communication studies, psychology and sociology.

We welcome delegates with a curiosity in learning more about Laughter and Medicine (from students to seniors and everything in between) to join this conference that will be held at the Birmingham University Edgbaston Park Hotel.

Discounts available for 2 day attendance and for concessions.

The BCGB meeting brings together researchers in the fields of gene regulation, epigenetics, DNA-repair, genome stability, DNA-replication, and computational/systems biology related to these topics. Therefore, the event offers a great opportunity for researchers from different fields on Genome Biology to network and interact, favouring new collaborations between groups within the University of Birmingham.
