MedCity Launch
April 2014
Julie Bretland attended the launch of MedCity at the Imperial White City Campus. The London Mayor Boris Johnson made a speech about the importance of innovation in healthcare and the benefits of the 5 Universities joining forces to support MedCity.
MedCity is a collaboration between London universities, Imperial, UCL, Kings together with Oxford and Cambridge, who have joined together to position London and the South East of England as a world leading region for life science research, development and commercialisation.
Unfortunately there was less emphasis on the digital health than we would have liked.
Ben Heubl covered the Launch in his article for Wired, for which Julie was interviewed amongst others, which you can read here
