This week’s FUTURES Friday Seminar featured Dr. Karsten Friedrich (Fetherston 1986 – 1992), who is the Global Head of Oncology Medical Digital Innovation at AstraZeneca.

Dr. Friedrich, who has dedicated his career to cancer research, now leads a global team at AstraZeneca focused on driving innovation at the intersection of healthcare and technology. During the seminar, he shared insights from his professional journey, discussed the role of pharmaceuticals in the healthcare sector, and highlighted the importance of big data and AI for the next generation.

The seminar was attended by over 40 pupils, ranging from Thirds to Upper Sixth.

       

Our FUTURES team works hard to produce a varied programme of FUTURES Friday Seminars, designed to appeal to a broad range of pupils. We have a programme of FUTURES Friday Seminars, and so if you are interested in taking part, Mrs Chillcott would be grateful to hear from you: ChillcottR@SolSch.org.uk. There is no need to be an experienced public speaker, or particularly senior in your organisation, as what we are looking for is a taster of ‘real life’ within various sectors.
