Quantifying drug response in cancer using 4D using Oblique Plane Microscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography

Heterogeneity in drug response is a confounder to successful cancer treatment. Even within genetically identical populations, cells respond differently to drugs due to factors including stochasticity in gene expression, cell cycle phase/state and the environment. Read more

(MCRC Non-Clinical) Personalising Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer Through Mathematical Modelling.

Radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still largely one-size-fits-all — dose and fractionation are set by tumour stage and performance status, despite variation in how individual tumours actually behave. Read more

Precision Medicine DLA – Photon-Counting CT Biomarkers for Early Precision Stratification of Coronary Plaque

  Research Group: Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences
Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of death, yet current CT angiography chiefly grades luminal stenosis rather than plaque composition, missing many patients with vulnerable but non-obstructive plaque who go on to have heart attacks. Read more
