There are a lot of components of @dynairx, but collaborating with our Public Advisor team is an important part of the study. Congrats to WP3 on delivering understandable presentations on their technical roles.
There will be opportunities to join our PPIE group soon. Join us! 🤝
It was great opportunity to present WP3 @dynairx @LivUniCHIL @LivUni discuss how we are using Machine Learning for the Optimization of Medicines for patients. Thanks @ER_IN_RESEARCH PPIE Lead for organizing such an amazing event @AIM_RSF @NIHRcommunity @UKRI_News #healthresearch
