Rules of engagement: How MetaboLight is illuminating young lives

Rules of engagement: How MetaboLight is illuminating lives The MetaboLight team at UCL is committed to developing life-saving medical technology and encouraging young people into STEM careers. Ilias Tachtsidis (IT) and Gemma Bale (GB) are members of the team developing CYRIL, a compact broadband near-infrared spectroscopy system that non-invasively monitors...

PhD explains CYRIL, a unique system she helped develop with hospital doctors which uses near-infrared light to measure changes in metabolism in sick newborns brains to determine levels of brain injury https://t.co/qoJibPDPXC https://t.co/cRtpakdD0m

Saving lives with CYRIL and sharing knowledge with MetaboLight

Saving lives with CYRIL and sharing knowledge with MetaboLight When they’re not developing life-saving technology, members of the Multimodal-Spectroscopy research team at UCL are actively sharing knowledge and enthusiasm to encourage youngsters to become medical physicists and biomedical engineers. Ilias Tachtsidis and Gemma Bale are members of a research te...

come and learn how we use light to look into the brain function

MetaboLight @metabolight come and learn how we use light to look into the brain function

Retweeted Ilias Tachtsidis ():

team working hard for Four days demonstrating how medical engineering and physics save lives. Come to learn about research looking at brain function of babies https://t.co/R1TZFcfGtP
