As part of the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design, this year’s festival will highlight some of the fascinating research happening right here in the city, with events running from 9-19 June.
Glasgow Innovates
A specially-curated exhibition, ‘Glasgow Innovates’, is already on show at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, giving a flavour of what’s in store. From gravitational wave detection to ultrasonic biopsy needles, explore the amazing innovations developed here in Glasgow.
Professor Anna Dominiczak
To celebrate the launch of the 2016 programme, Glasgow Science Festival is delighted to welcome an opening talk by world-leading cardiovascular scientist and academic, Professor Anna Dominiczak.
The talk and Q&A will give a special insight into the innovative work taking place within the Stratified Medicine Scotland Innovation Centre (SMS-IC) at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The centre has brought together universities, the NHS and industry to make Scotland a global leader in ‘precision medicine’, a personalised approach to treating patients.
Join us in LT1 of the University of Glasgow’s Boyd Orr Building on Friday 22 April from 18:00-19:00.
Free but ticketed.
