DR TEODORA POPA
Scientist (Genetics), Teaching Fellow at University College London (UCL)
As the leader of the Master's program in Personalised Medicine at University College London, Teodora is at the forefront of integrating the latest technologies, such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence, into science and medical education.
Teodora is passionate about inspiring the next generation of bio-entrepreneurs and challenging gender stereotypes in STEM fields. Her efforts extend beyond her research, as she organises events worldwide to connect aspiring minds with esteemed scientists, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders.
At Medefine's event, she will share her insights on the future of medicine, artificial intelligence in healthcare, genetic engineering, and inspiring the next generation of young doctors, researchers and scientists. Teodora's multifaceted expertise will also touch on biosciences applications and the exciting life of a scientist, alongside a demonstration of exploring the metaverse using a VR headset, providing an immersive and visionary learning experience like no other.
Why should you attend this event?
Know what the future of healthcare will look like
Learn about the latest technologies in healthcare: artificial intelligence algorithms used to prescribe the most effective drugs, genetic engineering for DNA mutations, editing the genome of human embryos, artificial wombs, animals which glow in the dark and using genomics to find new cancer therapies.
A unique university application
You are the next generation of healthcare leaders! Showing that you know what the future is about will look like will certainly make your university application stand out.
For Medical School applicants
Being aware of the latest technologies is paramount for tomorrow's healthcare. by being able to harness technology and automate tasks, doctors are winning more time to spend with their patients. Technology will definitely play a big role in treatment decisions, as well as in prescribing, surgery and most importantly, prevention.
For Biosciences applicants
Your role as a future scientist will be to DESIGN the future of science and contribute to it. For students interested in applying to biomedical sciences, genetics, neuroscience, space medicine, natural sciences, etc., knowing what the latest scientific breakthroughs are is of paramount importance. Did you know that AI can help us engineer genes and DNA for cancer therapies? This is just the beginning!
