MILAN - Women in Health - Towards circular medicine: the teaching of Covid-19. Women & Tech - Association of Women and Technologies. Women & Tech®, with the support of Assobiotec and the patronage of AFI, organizes the webinar "Towards circular medicine: COVID teaching", 28 September 2020, 2 pm, Zoom platform.
The health sector grows and develops thanks to the active presence of women, who hold important roles in both research and industry. Their skills lead them to stand out for the effectiveness and ethics of their work, as confirmed by the management of issues related to COVID-19.
With research that becomes increasingly interdisciplinary and circular, which encompasses not only the world of sciences, but also institutions and industry, there is a pressing request to bring out and tell the new scenarios precisely to women, simultaneously enhancing the results obtained from them.
On the occasion of the European Biotech Week (EBW) held this year from 28 September to 4 October, Women & Tech®, with the support of Assobiotec and the patronage of AFI, organizes, starting at 2 pm, the Webinar entitled “Towards a circular medicine: COVID teaching”.
"This is an event - explains Maria Luisa Nolli, former President of Women & Tech® and head of the Biotech and Health areas - in which the protagonist is the female world, always at the forefront in finding new, even revolutionary, solutions for the field of health".
The Webinar will deal with topics such as the revolution in medicine, with particular reference to new diagnostic drugs for the treatment of unmet medical needs; the contribution of biotech to new medical solutions. The relationship between ethics and science will be treated, in the key note lecture, by Professor Elena Cattaneo, Senator of the Republic, while the management of the Covid emergency, with the very important role played by Italy in the study and isolation of the virus, will be treated by the Dr. Maria Capobianchi of the Spallanzani Institute in Rome.
"With this Webinar - completes Maria Luisa Nolli - our Association also intends to strongly testify how much the female universe is the bearer of innovations for diagnostic and therapeutic solutions that at this moment are essential for understanding and managing the health emergency arising from Sars- CoV-2 ".
“As Wome & Tech - explains Gianna Martinengo, President and Founder of Women & Tech® - we are very sensitive to the ethical dimension of the choices that are made in all sciences and that contribute to their development. In fact, we believe that progress for all humanity cannot be disconnected from respect for the dimension of the human being, understood precisely as his humanity ".
In this regard, the words expressed by Professor Cattaneo are precious: “I would like research to always proceed together with its ethical dimension, starting with funding. Dedicating one's life to science means researching in a third, competent and transparent way (otherwise it would not be science). It would be enough for each scholar to make adherence to scientifically verified data and evidence his flag, both at the laboratory counter and in the public sphere, always emphasizing the distinction between facts and opinions ".
The webinar, lasting two hours, is aimed at women, and not only, who work in the field of medical sciences applied to industry and also to all lovers of medicine and medical sciences.
To participate in the webinar you need ZOOM which you can download for free for your PC, Mac, iPhone / iPad or Android device.
Participation is free upon online registration.
