In the future, diseases must be fought without drugs and pharmaceuticals. Can we achieve this by harnessing the cells that make up our bodies?
James Halstead is a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Medical Sciences, UNSW Sydney. His research focuses on how single cells in the body can make decisions, and how this can go wrong in diseases.
This talk and interview are part of Unsomnia: a series of short talks for restless minds.
Tackling the issues that keep us up at night, imagining the inconceivable and envisioning the future, UNSW researchers have just 10 minutes each to explain what life we will be living in the future.
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of UNSW Sydney, researchers were asked to take stock of what society used to be, fast forward to today’s world and look ahead another 70 years.
