It was great to present joint work with Kaushik Sengupta, Myriam Vilasco Gamberoni, and Maureen McKelvey on AstraZeneca’s research collaborations with French academia at this year’s edition of the Workshop on Medical Innovation and Healthcare (WOMI) in Valencia. As in every WOMI over the last 15 years, we had very engaging and inspiring discussions around innovation in medical and healthcare settings. Special thanks to Inma Aleixos Borrás, Oscar Llopis, and Pablo D’Este for the excellent organization of this years WOMI and to our Gothenburg Centre on knowledge-intensive innovation ecosystems for supporting this great event that brings together researchers working in the area!
