We’re pleased to share that Professor @timwitney.bsky.social has been elected President of the European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI). This appointment recognises his impactful contributions to the field and longstanding leadership in the global molecular imaging community. Congratulations!
Exciting research milestone from the Witney Lab!
A team led by Professor @timwitney.bsky.social has developed a novel imaging tracer that reveals how tumours use fats to fuel their growth.
The study has been selected as the cover article for Advanced Science, a high‑impact, open‑access journal.
Dr Amy Sharkey, a Radiology Registrar completing a PhD in our School, is working on a clinical study using a new type of PET scan tracer that could change this 👇
🌍 #WorldCancerDay Research Spotlight
Scientists are developing a range of cancer treatments; however, sometimes these treatments don’t work or can stop working, and it can take time for current scans to show this. That delay can impact the options available to patients.

Funded by NPIP, the project's aims include:
🦴 Developing a total-body PET bone blood flow measurement
🔹 Developing new scanning protocols
🟢 Reducing radiation exposure by lowering tracer dose
🫀 Imaging the heart, which will eliminate the need to take blood samples for quantitative analysis
Congratulations to Amelia Moore, Glen Blake and Gary Cook, who have been awarded £42,949 for their project titled ‘Development of an improved method of measuring total body bone perfusion using total-body PET/CT’.
A huge thank you to the 135 staff and student volunteers who shared their biomedical engineering research, experiences and journeys with visitors. Their knowledge and enthusiasm are what makes our stand so special ✨
We’re thrilled to announce that our Hospital of the Future exhibit was voted the most popular feature at #NewScientistLive2025, marking our fourth consecutive year of public recognition! 🏆
