Public Health Lecture Series 2015

9th of February, 2015

Every year the University of Otago, Christchurch, holds a series of free public health lectures. This year we have six speakers, all of whom have had their work recognised overseas. One example is Associate Professor Anthony Butler, who in conjunction with University of Canterbury researchers, has developed the MARS colour medical scanner. This machine is widely regarded as the next generation of medical scanner and set to revolutionise the field internationally. We look forward to seeing you at our lecture series.
