Technology is opening up new fields of study and generating research questions that break traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Spearheaded by our interdisciplinary Digital Environment Research Institute (DERI), researchers at Queen Mary are exploring and answering the questions that will shape a healthier, more prosperous and equitable future for our digital society.
Researchers at Queen Mary have developed an easy-to-use urine test to detect pancreatic cancer. This, in combination with an algorithm-based risk score, may offer earlier detection of the cancer, and offer a significantly better prognosis.
Atrial fibrillation - irregular heart rhythm - affects around 1.4 million UK people.
The safe storage of nuclear waste is a major environmental challenge as spent fuel from fission reactors remains radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years. Professor Kostya Trachenko has made a crucial contribution in this field.
This project has sequenced 100,000 genomes from around 85,000 patients affected by rare disorders and cancers – making the UK a world leader in genomic medicine.
Professor Julia Hörnle and her team explored the risks of online gambling, including addiction, minors playing, indebtedness, fraud, money-laundering and manipulation of sports.
