DSI Health - Covid Research Showcase

DSI Health Covid Research Showcase – 3^rd February - 1-3

DSI is showcasing some of the incredible research linked to Covid that has taken place over the last 18 months. We had hoped to do this in person but rather than postpone we have decided to present online. The Showcase highlights the scope of work undertaken under the umbrella of the DSI Health theme, and the close working relationships we have in engagement terms with local and national organisations. The work on show today demonstrates that Data Science health research covers a range across Fact;ties in the University, and across organisations allowing impact in real life terms.
