Life science has always been about deciphering biological complexity. With the rapid development over recent decades of new technology and novel methods of analysing data, we are now – in the 21st century – in a position where complex integrated biological systems can be studied holistically.
Technology is taking an increasing role in both academic research and healthcare, pushing a need for strategic investments and clever use of infrastructure and expertise. New types of cross-disciplinary collaborations are needed as science, healthcare and engineering converge and totally new opportunities arise in our connected and digitalised society.
