The Insigneo Institute will host 12 summer placements for University of Sheffield undergraduates to undertake a research project on a topic related to in silico medicine. This year the topics offered were:
- Development of a biomarker for Motor Neurone Disease: computational analysis of spectral impedance data in the limbs
- Validation of a tool for digital assessment of mobility in the real world
- Large-Scale Stability Analysis of a Mathematical Model of the Intracellular Dynamics of Neuroblastoma Cells
- Can Ultrasound imaging be a suitable alternative to MRI for building personalised musculoskeletal models?
- The effect of alternate weeks of mechanical loading and parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment on the mouse tibia
- Does the coronary microvascular resistance reduce after stenting?
- Design and Construction of an Instrumentation Pack for the Ring Vortex Complex Flow Phantom
- Advanced automatic 3D mesh generation for multi-body contact finite element analysis of joints
- Preterm Birth Prediction: Association of Cervical Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy and Cervicovaginal Metabolite Composition of Women at High-risk
- Modelling the apparent optical birefringence of the female cervix
- Autonomous Tumour Cell Classification from Texture analysis of the Spatial organisation of the Intracellular Cytoskeleton in Confocal images
- Ventilation and perfusion MRI to CT image registration for structure-function analysis
Students will undertake research remotely (up to a maximum number of 400 hours) under the supervision of an early career researcher or PhD student from Insigneo from the beginning of the summer vacation through to the end of August/beginning of September.
