DESCRIPTION:Heathcare is going mobile\, there is no denying it\, and this 
 is not just about healthcare apps becoming mainstream but more fundamental
 ly about healthcare being brought to the patient\, where they are or close
  to where they are. Point of Care healthcare requires medical technology t
 o re-invent itself. The needs of Point of Care medical applications are ra
 dically different from those of the central lab. Our speaker will focus on
  sensing technologies and how those are evolving to enable Point of Care h
 ealthcare.\n\nProfessor Chris Lowe OBE\, FREng\, FInstP\, FRSC is an Emeri
 tus Professor with the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnolog
 y at the University of Cambridge. His primary research interest is in heal
 thcare biotechnology\, particularly where it is applied to the high-value 
 low-volume sectors of biopharmaceuticals\, sensors and diagnostics and mic
 robial technology. The work is highly multidisciplinary and not only cover
 s aspects of molecular biology\, biochemistry\, microbiology\, chemistry\,
  physics\, electronics and engineering\, but also the entire range from fu
 ndamental science to strategic and applied science\, much of which has sig
 nificant commercial application. Professor Lowe has been the driving force
  for the establishment of 10 Spin-out companies\, and has been awarded sev
 eral national and international prizes and distinctions\, including  “Mo
 st Entrepreneurial Scientist of the UK” Award: UKSEC (2006)\, Queen’s 
 Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education: The Royal Anniversary 
 Trust (2007)\, Officer of the British Empire (OBE): New Year Honours (2010
 ) and BBSRC Commercial Innovator of the Year (2011). He holds visiting Pro
 fessorships at the Universities of Bath (UK)\, Lund (Sweden) and the Austr
 alian National University (ANU)(2013).\n\nThis is free to attend\, booking
