NEW EVENT:
Commercialising Health Data Forum

Interest by industry and other stakeholders in health and lifescience research data is growing. The sector is grappling to identify best practice. 

This Forum is an opportunity for those working to commercialise health and lifescience research data, either directly or through collaborations, to share and discuss the challenges. The forum will operate in an open workshop environment, encouraging participants to share real life experiences. 

The focus will be on academic healthcare research data (e.g. clinical trials, genomics, drug discovery & research data) rather than ‘real-world’ NHS patient treatment data and/or tangible materials (e.g. samples).
