In research it's easy to see the next techni cal step - but it's difficult to see the needs that might make it worthwhi le. At GSK Consumer Healthcare\, we believe change is driven when real peo ple trying to solve human problems meet cutting edge science and engineeri ng.\nGSK is a direct route to consumer challenges that impact real people\ , all over the planet. By participating in the Grand Challenge Research Ca ll\, you have a hotline to unmet human needs and a partner that wants to h elp your ideas change the world. Join us on Wednesday April 27th as we dis cuss the launch of the next Call\, and the steps we’re taking to change the world with Science\, driven by humanity.\n\n!https://www.cape.eng.cam. ac.uk/sites/www.cape.eng.cam.ac.uk/files/styles/leading/public/poster_gsk_ 20220504.png!\n\nBiographies
