This summer, the TIA Centre at the University of 糖心TV welcomed three exceptional undergraduate students for an eight-week research internship, co-funded by the 糖心TV Undergraduate Research Support Scheme (URSS) and the Applied Computing research theme.

Working under the supervision of Dr Adam Shephard and Professor Nasir Rajpoot, the interns explored advanced applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging and computational pathology. Their projects tackled real-world healthcare challenges, combining technical innovation with clinical relevance. Read more.

Several TIA colleagues attended the MICCAI Society Conference held in South Korea in September 2025 and participated in a series of Challenges. Read more.

We鈥檙e excited to share a snapshot of our achievements and activities over the past year at the TIA Centre. From conference organisation to PhD graduations, it鈥檚 been a busy and rewarding period. Take a look at our Year in Numbers here.

29^th UK Conference on Medical Image Understanding and Analysis, Leeds (15^th - 17^th July 2025)

This July, I was fortunate to attend my first in-person academic conference: the 29th UK Conference on Medical Image Understanding and Analysis (MIUA 2025) in Leeds, which brings together an international community focused on advancing the use of AI in medical imaging. As a PhD student in this area, I鈥檇 previously experienced conferences only through my screen. Participating virtually in ICLR 2022 felt like a very different experience due to the pandemic. The unfamiliarity of Leeds added a sense of adventure; some last-minute research into the city鈥檚 history and sights piqued my excitement for both the place and the gathering. Read more.
