Biomedical
This theme focuses on investigating health and disease to develop improved diagnostics and technologies for enhanced quality of life. It aims to explore how artificial intelligence and autonomous systems may be developed and applied to patient data sets, laboratory-based data collection, large spectroscopic data and data from emerging technologies for efficient and robust analysis, interpretation and diagnosis. Thus, the scope is wide and encompasses a range of experimental and analytical approaches. This theme aligns with the development of the health innovation campus and the Health theme within the Data Science Institute. This alignment aims to strengthen connections and collaborations in these areas across all faculties at Lancaster University.
