However, there are underexplored challenges in this emerging space that require interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration. Mia Tackney, Research Associate from MRC Biostatistics Unit received C2D3 funding to run a multi-stakeholder Knowledge Exchange event to facilitate conversations across silos within this research ecosystem.
