Next-Generation Wireless Capsule Robots for Non-Invasive Gastrointestinal Health Monitoring
This project will develop a wireless, magnetically-driven capsule robot designed for continuous, non-invasive GI monitoring. . Read more
PhD in Electrical Engineering - Compact Terahertz Gas Sensors for Non-Invasive Early Disease Detection
Start Date. 1st October 2025 . The School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting 3.5-year PhD project to work on fabrication and characterisation of compact gas sensor chips for non-invasive early disease detection applications. . Read more
Non-invasive brain stimulation, interactivity, and creativity
The neuroscience of creativity has implicated the right temporal lobe in the production of insights in various creative problem-solving tasks. Read more
Beating heart disease - non-invasive and non-contact diagnosis of cardiovascular disease
Learn about this project and more at our upcoming webinar on January 23. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of mortality globally, affects millions of individuals and poses a significant public health challenge. Read more

GlucoVox: Voice Analysis for Non-Invasive Diabetes Glucose Monitoring Using Machine Learning (C3.5-COM-Ma)
Background. Diabetes is a leading cause of preventable death and affects over 500 million people worldwide, with nearly half unaware of their condition. Read more
Virtual Histology Through Statistical Descriptors: Enhancing MRI for Cancer Diagnosis
Accurate cancer diagnosis currently relies on invasive biopsies to obtain microscopic histological data, a process that poses risks of false negatives and significant patient discomfort. Read more
Non-invasive detection of breast cancer from fingertip smears
Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, accounting for 11.7% of all cancer diagnoses in 2020, with 150 new cases/per day in the UK. Read more
Non-invasive skin patches can interrogate interstitial skin fluid to improve skin cancer diagnosis in primary care
This project is co-sponsored by the EPSRC CDT in Chemical Biology and the CRUK Convergence Science Centre. Supervisors. Dr Sylvain Ladame, Department of Bioengineering, Imperial. Read more
Mid-infrared hollow-core fibre and laser development for environmental monitoring, non-invasive surgery and advanced manufacturing
In this project we will develop hollow-core optical fibres (HCFs) for mid-infrared laser delivery. HCFs offer a radically new solution for laser delivery as they guide light in a gas-filled core, instead of the glass in conventional optical fibres. . Read more
Enhancing safety and autonomy in minimally invasive surgery through reliable blood vessel localisation
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
This project aims to develop innovative instruments for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) equipped with sensors capable of reliably detecting blood vessels in deep tissues. Read more
