Welcome to the third episode of Plenary’s podcast: UNSW Health Translation Hub – A Nexus of Innovation.

In this episode, we’re diving into the question: how can the co-location of different disciplines under the banner of a place-based approach lead to breakthroughs in any one field?

There’s no better site to examine this question than the UNSW Health Translation Hub, which opened late last year.

Spread across 35,600 square meters, the UNSW Health Translation Hub brings together educational and medical researchers, clinicians, educators, industry partners and public health officials – all within the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct.

Join various experts who have been instrumental in the Hub’s development, and chart how it’s set to revolutionise the landscape of healthcare, medical research and health education in Australia and beyond.

Host: Sonia Nair, Plenary Group Communications and Content Manager

What role can infrastructure play in addressing some of society’s most pressing challenges?
