The Future of Diagnostics (ON Bio-Innovation Week Fringe Event)

The Future of Diagnostics with UKHSA and Canary Wharf Life Sciences

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) are delighted to team up with Canary Wharf Life Sciences to deliver this One Nucleus/BioInnovation Week Fringe event on diagnostics.

The COVID-19 pandemic proved to us how vital it was to have the right diagnostics in place to identify and control the spread of the disease. The UKHSA’s mission is to prepare for, prevent and respond to health threats, save lives and protect livelihoods. In order to do this, it is crucial that we have the right diagnostics in place for the future.
