i-sense: LCN Student Award for "Outstanding Contributions to the Community"
Dr Jen Barcroft presents her work in collaboration with i-sense colleagues at the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) World Congress: “Can Online Search Engine Patterns Predict Gynecological Diagnoses?”.
Public engagement is an important part of our research at i-sense, in order to disseminate our findings with a wide, diverse and inclusive audience and also to develop our network and engage future researchers into the field. Let’s take a closer look at some of the varied areas of public engagement that we have been involved in over the past few months.
Each month we will explore different themes related to developing tools and technologies to track, test and treat infectious diseases. As preparing for and responding to an outbreak is a collaborative effort, we’ll gain perspective from experts in academia, government and policy, healthcare, and industry.
Prof Rachel McKendry (i-sense Director), Dr Ben Miller (i-sense Postdoc) and Prof John Morton (UCLQ Director) discuss their new research using quantum nanodiamonds for early detection of infectious disease.
i-sense works in collaboration with end-users in low and middle income countries to build innovative tools and technologies that meet their needs.
Can we use technology in order to prevent the next big disease outbreak? Dr Polina Brangel, Postdoctoral Research Associate in the McKendry group at UCL, talks about how her interdisciplinary research is being used to monitor and predict Ebola outbreaks in Africa.
