Professor Mike Hannon from the University’s School of Chemistry says, ‘The continuous advancement in chemistry, physics, engineering and computer science are constantly enhancing the quality and complexity of imaging tools available to solve key biological challenges. Imaging has the capability to provide an enormous amount of information about exactly how biological processes take place down at the level of individual interacting molecules and this is the key to diagnosing, understanding and then treating disease. The technology could be used to find out, for example, how blood is flowing around the body, or how a patient is responding to a treatment or to diagnose symptoms.’
