The Engineers: Exploring the Human
The Engineers: Exploring the HumanÌýwill be recording at theÌý¸é³Ò³§Ìý´Ç²ÔÌýTuesday 22 JulyÌý²¹³ÙÌý6pm.
Engineering has moved inside the body to innovate like never before. In neuro-science, brain implants can provide ‘psychic’ communication for people with locked-in syndrome. In medication a new technology aims to deliver chemo therapy and other drugs directly to the parts that need them by bubbles in the blood stream. And ingestible electronics are being made to fight disease by sending antibody-directing messages straight from the gut to the brain.
Three biomedical engineers at the forefront of their profession worldwide come to London and joinÌýCaroline SteelÌýto talk about their trail-blazing work and answer questions from an audience at theÌýRoyal Geographical Society.
