About MBI

Medical Biology Interactive was established to deliver one-day and half-day courses, seminars and tutorials in epidemiology, occupational health and the human sciences to the health service, industry and education. All MBI seminars are written and run by academics and health specialists, each of whom has considerable experience in research and its practical applications. Seminars are delivered at the hospital, workplace or school, based on cutting-edge research and current practice benchmarks, and tailored to the needs and concerns of the client.

A very important remit of MBI is to take developments in science and medicine to the public. Thus, MBI currently offers gratis evening lectures on some 35 topics, from the origins and evolution of life to the neuroscience of space travel.

 

The MBI mission statement is simple: educate, enrich, inspire at every level, from layperson to professional.
