It's often assumed that the sophisticated investigative techniques housed within large research infrastructures are reserved for so-called pure science, with applications far removed from everyday life. In reality, thanks to highly cross-disciplinary collaborations, these tools are increasingly being used in the development of next-generation biomedical applications. This session will explore how synchrotron radiation, supported by AI systems, can help shed light on critical clinical conditions such as osteoporosis and melanoma.
