A revolutionary artificial intelligence model developed by the Octopath AI team is set to transform cancer diagnostics and biomarker discovery.

Dr. Tapabrata Rohan Chakraborty (FIET, FHEA, SMIEEE) recently joined the UCL Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering as a full-time Lecturer (Assistant Professor).

Staff, students and alumni from the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering reconnected for a summer celebration in June.

At UCL, the Upgrade is a pivotal moment in a PhD programme.

20 students from the Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering Society travelled to Nuremberg, Würzburg, and Schweinfurt, Bavaria, for an industry immersion visit.

The award recognises her outstanding leadership and the successful delivery of the UCL Festival of Engineering.

AI can predict how well patients with rectal cancer will respond to treatment by analysing standard tissue samples taken during diagnosis, finds a new study from researchers at UCL and UCLH.

A new AI-assisted brain atlas that can help visualise the human brain in unprecedented detail has been developed by UCL researchers, in a major step forward for neuroscience and neuroimaging.

UCL researchers Dr Charles-Antoine Collins-Fekete and Prof Maria Hawkins were awarded MRC funding to pilot Octopath, an AI tool set to transform cancer diagnosis in the NHS.

The National X-ray Computed Tomography facility (NXCT) is the UK’s national research hub for laboratory-based X-ray computed tomography imaging.

The time to carry out diagnostic MRI scans for dementia can be cut to one-third of their standard length, according to a new study led by UCL researchers.

The Spiers' Prize for Outreach is awarded to any member of IPEM who demonstrates they have improved education, raised public awareness, or inspired future generations in the field of Medical Physics.

A team led by UCL and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how life-saving antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of harmful bacteria.

The MRC Career Development Award Fellowship is designed to support talented researchers who have obtained a higher research degree, enabling them to lead their own research projects.

Congratulations to Dr Nicole Thompson, who has won the prestigious Adrian Prize of the British Society of Clinical Neurophysiology at the 2025 European Congress of Clinical Neurophysiology.
