Professor Thor Besier works at the University of Auckland’s Bioengineering Institute. Professor Besier gave a very interesting and well-presented talk on bio-engineering as it is applied to the bones in our bodies. He outlined several current research projects that are investigating how technology can assist and indeed take over from doctors in identifying the problems and appropriate responses needed, to many skeletal afflictions people are born with or develop as we age.   It was fascinating to learn about how technology will help medics with their diagnoses and remedies. So relevant for us all.
