A major grant has been awarded, aided by our BRC, to develop a drug-device combination to revolutionise how immune cells are monitored & treated. The project focuses on #PosteriorUveitis and uses non-invasive imaging of immune cells via the eye. tinyurl.com/5dm2urpf @ucleye.bsky.social

A promotional image from NIHR Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre featuring an image of Colin Shu in a blue shirt. The background is blue with circular and hexagonal shapes in red, white, and blue. The text reads: '“The immune system plays a crucial role in nearly every known disease. However, imaging and tracking individual immune cells directly in patients remains a significant challenge. By overcoming this, we hope to unlock transformative advances relevant to many other systemic conditions, such as autoimmunity, infections and cardiovascular diseases.”
