Proteus - Lighting up the Lung, Detecting Disease

Lighting up the Lung, Detecting Disease

.

Our aim is to develop a revolutionary technology that will provide quick bedside diagnosis and management of lung diseases in the clinical environment

Fibre Technology
We are developing a three-fibre bundle that will possess
delivery, imaging and sensing capabilities

Smartprobes
Our Smartprobes will attach to specific pathogens deep
inside the lung, to enable real-time detection of disease.

Detector technology
State-of-the-art sensors will enable us to detect, timestamp
and process photons at an unprecedented rate

Versicolour
Our innovative multi-colour wide-field fluorescence endoscopy unit
will help with the detection of disease in the distal lung.

Public Engagement
With such a large range of activites going on within the group, we aim
to share our knowledge by encouraging two-way dialogue between
the public and academic sectors.
