Let's Talk About Health: Lighting Up Lungs – The PROTEUS Project Join us for the first in the 2015-2016 Let's Talk About Health series, 'Lighting Up Lungs – The PROTEUS Project: An interdisciplinary approach to visualising disease'. Kevin Dhaliwal and the PROTEUS team will discuss how experts have united with a common goal to help us ‘see the light' in the lung. The first clinical trials of the new technologies will be happening this year in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Lung infections, inflammation and lung cancer are major causes of disability and death. Although scientists have spent decades developing drugs and other experimental treatments to help patients, none of these therapeutic advances will rapidly enter clinical care until we can accurately understand the processes that happen deep inside human lungs. Tour the labs Tours of the optical imaging labs will be available for school pupils (on a first come first served basis from 16.30), as well as hands-on activities in the café from 16:00-17:20. Both will offer opportunities to speak to young scientists about their work at the University. Book your tickets All lectures in the series are free to attend, although booking is essential. This lecture will take place at the Queen's Medical Research Institute, next to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, Little France Crescent, Edinburgh. Little France is located in the south east of the city, with good connections to the city's main transport hubs. This lecture will take place on Wednesday 16th December from 17:30 to 18:30. Doors will open at 16.30 with refreshments available both before and after the lecture. Book tickets for this lecture Dec 16 2015 17.30 - 18.30 Let's Talk About Health: Lighting Up Lungs – The PROTEUS Project Join Kevin Dhaliwal and the PROTEUS team to find out how experts in astronomy, engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine are working together to see the light in the lung.
