MPBE Festival of Research
13 Jun 2025, 13:30 – 18:00
Join us for an exciting afternoon celebrating innovation and collaboration in medical physics and biomedical engineering at UCL. The Festival of Research brings together students, researchers, industry partners, and alumni to explore cutting-edge work across academia and industry, next-generation diagnostics and therapeutics, and key enablers of impactful research.
Highlights include expert talks, a PhD poster showcase, the inaugural John Clifton Fellowship Lecture, and an awards celebration recognising contributions from across the department. The event will conclude with an informal conversation between Professor Dave Delpy and Professor Dave Hawkes, followed by a relaxed evening reception on the 7th floor terrace.
Come be inspired, connect with peers, and celebrate the future of research from UCL Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering.
