Postdoctoral Research Associate in the i-sense McKendry group at UCL, Dr Harriet Gliddon, recently travelled to South Africa with the support of a UCL Global Engagement Grant. The visit helped Dr Gliddon plan for a study looking at new sequencing technology to diagnose drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Science Minister, Jo Johnson, has announced £3.8M in funding from Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) awarded to i-sense IRC Next Steps for pioneering developments of agile early warning sensing systems for infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance.
Last week, Professor of Biomedical Nanotechnology at UCL and Director of i-sense, Professor Rachel McKendry, and Research Director for Biomedical Materials at Imperial and i-sense Deputy Director, Professor Molly Stevens, visited our collaborators at the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI).
i-sense members from the McKendry group at UCL and the Peeling group at LSHTM attended the week-long Advanced Course on Diagnostics (ACDx), which took place at the Fondation Merieux Centre for Global Health in Annecy.
Researchers from i-sense joined the award winning show, New Scientist Live, as thousands of people visited the ExCel centre in London for a stimulating festival of ideas.
This year marked the second year of the show, which featured five themed zones, including cosmos, earth, humans, technology and engineering.
