Limits of Perception: From magnetic thermoseeds to brain clearance

On Demand Session

Webinar Overview

Mark Lythgoe is the Founder and Director of the UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging (CABI). CABI’s aim is to develop the next generation of biomedical imaging tools. The Centre hosts 14 state-of-the-art imaging modalities and 40 researchers from across a wide range of disciplines.

The Centre has a long-standing track record in the development of imaging techniques and has been awarded over £40 million to create a platform for imaging research. CABI is one of the most advanced biomedical imaging facilities in the world, and its pioneering capabilities are helping to keep imaging at the forefront of scientific research.

Mark speaks about CABI’s blue sky projects to give a flavour of how they work and their aspiration for the future. He discusses how they guide magnetic thermoseeds in the brain with MRI, image new routes into the brain for drug delivery, generate visible biomaterials for the heart, and image the brain’s glymphatic system.
