Course description
The Physics Applied to Medicine Research Group at the OU brings together researchers from across the Department of Physics and Astronomy and has an emphasis on interdisciplinary and multi-centre research leading to new developments in medical diagnosis or treatment. The group is a member of the recently established Biomedical Research Network, bringing together researchers from across the Faculty of Science. The group contains both established and career-early researchers and its activities fall into several subject areas:

- Functional imaging.
- Inverse problems.
- Radiation damage.
- Neuroscience and education.
- Statistical physics in biology and medicine

Potential research projects

A list of possible projects is held on the Department of Physics & Astronomy website.

Please approach us if you are interested in another topic that remains within the broad interests of group members.
