Event details
This workshop launches the new virtual Edinburgh Centre for Biomedical Physics, http://biomedical-physics.ed.ac.uk. The aim of the Centre and this workshop is to bring together researchers working in the domain of physics for medicine.
Within the School of Physics and Astronomy and the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, there are many people working on physics-related challenges for the medical domain. This workshop will bring researchers together to foster opportunities for new collaborations. There will be three main sessions presented during the workshop, which parallel the three main themes of the Edinburgh Centre for Biomedical Physics: (i) detectors, imaging and analysis; (ii) molecular mechanisms of disease; (iii) physics of infection.
Besides the talks for each theme, we aim to have plenty of time for discussion at the end of the workshop, to promote the Centre and discuss ways in which participants to the workshop and others can contribute to it in the future. The workshop aims to kickstart cross-institute and cross-college collaborations, which are an increasingly more obvious requirement of cutting-edge work in the field.
