On the 23rd November 2021 we launched our Network with an online event hosted via Zoom. The session was kicked off by our Principal Investigator Dr Weizi (Vicky) Li, and the University of Reading Team: Prof Adrian Bell, Prof Adrian Williams, and Prof Keiichi Nakata. This was followed by talks from Vicky to introduce the network, and each of the Co-Investigators on the different themes of the Network. The second part of the session comprised of different healthcare themes, and further details about the Network from the Coordinator Dr Samantha Kanza.
