Cancer services at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust are set for a ground-breaking advancement, with major funding secured to develop technology that can detect tumours and guide robots to remove them.

The Terabotics project, which is being led by Professor Emma Pickwell-MacPherson at the University of Warwick, will use probes that use terahertz (THz) radiation, or T-rays, to scan for tumours under the skin.

In October 2020, we launched our third and most ambitious round yet, daring the global research community to take on one of our 9 new challenges. Today, we’re pleased to announce 11 shortlisted teams competing for our awards! Winners receive up to £20m each and the freedom to unleash their scientific creativity, conducting research that transcends the boundaries of geography and discipline.
