Our team is getting ready to test FAROS technology in the operating room. From left to right: Tom, Martin, Anisha, and Matt. The FAROS consortium had a fantastic and highly productive time working at the labs of Balgrist Campus AG and the operating room at Balgrist University Hospital this week.

Applications are invited for the fully funded 4 years full-time PhD studentship (including home tuition fees, annual stipend and consumables) starting on 1st June 2022. Award details: Focus: Translational research on hyperspectral-based quantitative fluorescence imaging linked with a neurosurgery clinical study Primary supervisor: Tom Vercauteren Secondary supervisor: Jonathan Shapey Industry collaborator: Hypervision Surgical Funding type: Tuition fee, stipend (Home Fee status only).

We are actively involving patients and carers to make our research on next generation neurosurgery more relevant and impactful. Early February 2022, our research scientists from King’s College London and King’s College Hospital organised a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) meeting with support from The Brain Tumour Charity.

A great milestone today for Rémi Delaunay who passed his PhD viva with minor corrections! His thesis is entitled “Computational ultrasound tissue characterisation for brain tumour resection”. Screenshot from Rémi’s presentation.

The Surgical & Interventional Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training delivers translational research to transform patient pathways. Meet some of our talented PhD students is this programme who are engineering better health!
