In research it's easy to see the next technical step - but it's difficult to see t he needs that might make it worthwhile. At GSK Con sumer Healthcare\, we believe change is driven whe n real people trying to solve human problems meet cutting edge science and engineering.\nGSK is a di rect route to consumer challenges that impact real people\, all over the planet. By participating in the Grand Challenge Research Call\, you have a ho tline to unmet human needs and a partner that want s to help your ideas change the world. Join us on Wednesday April 27th as we discuss the launch of t he next Call\, and the steps we’re taking to chang e the world with Science\, driven by humanity.\n\n !https://www.cape.eng.cam.ac.uk/sites/www.cape.eng .cam.ac.uk/files/styles/leading/public/poster_gsk_ 20220504.png!\n\nBiographies
\nTom Wat t \n\nTom is a physicist and systems engineer who specialises in the development of novel system s. He has over 28 years of experience in the rapid development of technology and products from initi al idea to full qualification and commercial launc h. \n\nTom's experience includes rapid developmen t of complex sensor networks\, medical devices\, I oT products\, and safety critical systems. He has built and led teams to deliver products in the def ence\, energy\, bio-medical and security sectors\; executed large scale research programmes\, and de veloped both corporate and technical strategies. H e was Design Authority on a £100MM programme to cr eate an autonomous mine sweeping system in under 1 8 months and was head of Safety Engineering for Vi rgin Hyperloop.\n\nCurrently Tom is Technical Dire ctor in GSK Consumer Healthcare as part of their N EXT team focused on novel and disruptive healthcar e products.\n\nPhilip J James\n\nPhilip J J ames BSc.
