[sudo-discuss] Diagnostics by Design Workshop and Hackathon (with Tekla Labs) at UC Berkeley

[Ryan Bethencourt]

Hi All,

I thought these series of talks and meetings might be of interest to 
those of you interested in Biotech and Global Health, Tekla labs will be 
co-running them at UC Berkeley.

All the best,
Ryan

> The Diagnostics by Design workshop is an interdisciplinary forum for 
> discussing the challenges and lessons learned in developing and 
> implementing global health technologies, specifically at the point of 
> care. Through interactive talks, a panel discussion with experts from 
> industry and academia, and a hands-on build session, we will explore 
> the challenges associated with translating technologies beyond the 
> lab. This workshop will draw on the expertise and experience of 
> individuals from across disciplines to explore collaborative solutions 
> to global health issues. The workshop will feature Columbia Professor 
> and mChip inventor Samuel Sia as the keynote speaker. See our

> The Diagnostics by Design hackathon is an interdisciplinary effort to 
> bridge the gap between makers and do-it-yourself innovators and the 
> sphere of global health. The event is posed as a challenge to 
> participants: with minimal materials or through innovative coding, 
> tackle a technological or informatic need in the space of 
> point-of-care diagnostics. These can range from generating*DIY lab 
> equipment alternatives for medical clinics* with limited resources, 
> informatics for disease monitoring, or redesign of diagnostic tools 
> for resource-limited settings. Attendees will be given a kit with some 
> materials and have access to *3D printers, laser cutters, mills and 
> more*. Visit our eventbrite page 
> <http://www.eventbrite.com/e/diagnostics-by-design-a-hack-day-for-global-health-tickets-8959705721?aff=es2&rank=1&sid=1f2927a15d2911e3887412313b0a99d4>for
