Lyt til Roentgen's Radio - A PEM podcast

Dr Elly Martin joins to talk about her research using Ultrasound. She goes way beyond conventional uses like imaging babies, into cutting edge ultrasound techniques - designing new cancer treatments, neuro-stimulation and the science of freezing and thawing.

Part 2 of our talk with Professor Clare Elwell where we talk about what makes a successful academic career, bravery, and good ways to support female scientists. Extra thanks to Naomi Britton for her editing support!

New series of the podcast! New name for the Podcast! The PEM Podcast is now Röntgen's Radio (A Physics and Engineering in Medicine Podcast), a tribute to the discoverer of the x-ray. The first episode of this series is with Dr Rob Moss, Lecturer in Applied Radiation Physics at University College London. Rob tells us about his research in x-ray diffraction, explaining how he started in security applications before coming to identify cancers and create new x-ray detectors.

A conversation with Associate Professor Karin Shmueli about her research career in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Karin explains how MRI works before moving into her research speciality, QSM where she discusses finding functional information using the "imaginary" phase part of an image. Listen in to find out more!

We talk to Professor Clare Elwell about her career and research in Medical Physics. Clare has had an extraordinary career using Biomedical Optics in clinical environments, including a ongoing research project in the Gambia, studying development of infant brains, funded by the Bill Gates Foundation. This is Part One of our chat with Clare, focussing on her own research career. Look out for a further episode coming soon, where she talks insightfully about building a research career and her advice for aspiring scientists. Clare Elwell is Professor of Medical Physics, Director of the Near Infrared Spectroscopy Group, and Vice-Dean for Impact at University College London
