Health Zone Report – June 2016 – About I'm an Engineer, Get me out of here

Health Zone Report – June 2016

This was a themed zone funded by the Wellcome Trust, with five engineers working in a variety of areas relating to Health. Simon works to support the manufacturing of a flu vaccine, Rebecca is a PhD student who provides doctors with smartphones and tablets to help them monitor patients, Laura develops sports clothing and equipment to improve athletes’ performance, Krish is researching how to freeze cells, tissues and organs in order to keep them longer and transplant them successfully and Julia is a PhD student working on developing a pill to take videos inside the human gut to uncover diseases such as cancer. This zone had the highest number of students logged in out of all the zones in June’s event, which resulted in the highest number of questions approved.
