One of the 75 new Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) announced today by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) the CDT continues the successful partnership between two world-class institutions. The Centre will  provide PhD training within an embedded hospital environment in Central London, with state-of-the-art research laboratories across the Universities, and in close interaction with the healthcare industry.

 

 

Our vision is to train the next generation of medical imaging researchers, leveraging the full potential of medical imaging for healthcare through integration of artificial intelligence, targeted, responsive and safer imaging probes, cutting-edge emerging and affordable imaging solutions, within a unique multi-disciplinary environment of imaging scientists, engineers, clinicians and other healthcare professionals.
