Edinburgh Biomedical Physics are a virtual, highly interdisciplinary center bringing together researchers from quantitative and life sciences to address pressing, open, and clinically relevant biomedical questions. Research areas Detectors, Imaging and Analysis This area involves physicists, clinicians, and data scientists at different sites, focusing on developing machine learning and data science techniques for medical imaging purposes. A key application area is the analysis and simulations of full-body PET scans at Little France. Molecular Mechanisms of Diseases This area involves physicists, molecular biologists, clinicians at different sites, and focuses on the development and experimental validation of mechanistic models for cancer and genetic diseases, typically dependent on aberrant chromatin and chromosome 3D structure and function. Physics of Infection This area involves physicists, biologists, clinicians and virologists at different sites, and focuses on the development of quantitative frameworks to understand viruses and biofilms at different scales, from molecular to epidemiological.
