Pioneering cancer research at ICL

Nickie at Imperial College London

As we marked Cancer Awareness Week, Two Cities MP Nickie Aiken visited Imperial College London to meet the incredible team behind the RREACT start-up project to learn how they're improving early detection of cancerous tumours.

Winner of the "University" category in the Santander X UK Awards 2023, RREACT is using contrast-enhanced super-resolution ultrasound imaging technology to assess the response of a tumour. It's a pioneering initiative that uses technology far less invasive than MRIs or CT scans and will make a real difference in people's lives.

Whilst there, Nickie met the incredible people behind the start-up, Kevin Bardwell, Marcelo, Jipeng Yan as well as Professor Mengxing Tang. Professor Mengxing Tang has worked at ICL for over 20 years and is a real expert in his field and RREACT’s mission. Nickie looks forward to continuing to hear about this exciting project in the future.

Thousands of local people, along with business owners and tourists, have been calling for the licensing of pedicabs to tackle the rogue operators whose loud noises cause irritation and whose rip-off fares penalise Londoners and visitors alike.
