We'll be joined by Sarah Bohndiek, Programme Director at ARIA, in conversation with Kristin Ellis, Partner at Convergent Research, on ARIA’s scientific organising principle, the origins of Focused Research Organisations (FROs), the gaps they fill that traditional research institutions cannot, and why this model matters for the UK.
Speakers
Building and launching FROs in the UK in partnership with ARIA focused on genetic engineering, connectomics, AI, and climate.
Sarah is Professor in the Department of Physics and a Senior Group Leader at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute at the University of Cambridge. Sarah is also co-director of the £16m EPSRC Optical and Acoustic Imaging for Surgical and Interventional Sciences Hub with Prof. Dan Stoyanov at UCL and Prof Dan Elson at Imperial College London. Sarah is currently on secondment at the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) co-directing research funding of more than £100m, including the Forecasting Tipping Points programme.
