New research shows “profound” link between dietary choices and brain health
New research has highlighted the profound link between dietary choices and brain health.
Protein biomarkers predict dementia 15 years before diagnosis – according to new study
In the largest study of its kind, scientists have shown how protein “biomarkers” predict dementia 15 years before diagnosis.
AI tool developed to help grade cancer based on cell divisions
Ahead of World Cancer Day on 4 February, scientists are revealing a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to help grade cancer, by analysing cell division.
Learning to forget – a weapon in the arsenal against harmful AI
With the AI summit well underway, researchers are keen to raise the very real problem associated with the technology – teaching it how to forget.
Could e-voting be the future for general elections?
New research from the Universities of Warwick and Newcastle could make e-voting more secure, accessible, and trustworthy for future elections.
Warwick academic partners with GSK for new chair role in computational pathology
Professor Rajpoot, Director of the Tissue Image Analytics (TIA) Centre at the University of Warwick, has been announced as the new GSK Chair of Computational Pathology at the University of Warwick.
AI research at the University of Warwick will speed up colon cancer diagnoses, thanks to a £2.6m grant
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will help to speed up colon cancer diagnoses, thanks to a £2.6m research grant.
Vaccine attitudes detected in tweets by AI model
People’s attitudes towards vaccines can now be detected from their social media posts by an intelligent AI model, developed by researchers at the University of Warwick.
Social isolation is directly associated with later dementia - research finds
Social isolation is directly linked with changes in the brain structures associated with memory, making it a clear risk factor for dementia, scientists have found.
Warwick is serving up a Slice of Science this weekend
Have you ever wondered whether there were any other planets we could live on, or considered what happens after you have put that little stick up your nose for your COVID test? Fancy learning about slime or brain science – or wondered ‘exactly what is a tardigrade’? All the answers will be served – along with a cup of tea and slice of cake – at the University of Warwick’s Slice of Science event on Sunday (13 March).
Future of Artificial Intelligence research to be expanded thanks to scholarship programme support
Students who are the future of Artificial Intelligence research will have the chance to study for PhDs at the University of Warwick after alumnus and philanthropist Jonathan Feuer made a second substantial philanthropic donation to support up to 12 further Feuer International Scholarships in AI.
New deep learning algorithm can pick up genetic mutations and DNA mismatch repair deficiency in colorectal cancers more efficiently
A new deep learning algorithm created by researchers from the University of Warwick can pick up the molecular pathways and development of key mutations causing colorectal cancer more accurately than existing methods, meaning patients could benefit from targeted therapies with quicker turnaround times and at a lower cost.
University of Warwick names 37 researchers who become Turing Fellows this academic year
A total of 37 University of Warwick researchers from across the fields of mathematics, life sciences, statistics, computer science, business, medicine and engineering have been named as Fellows of the Alan Turing Institute this year.
Identifying banknote fingerprints can stop counterfeits on streets
Since the introduction of plastic (polymer) banknotes in 2016, the number of counterfeit notes on the streets has increased, however, researchers from Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick have developed a novel technique called Polymer Substrate Fingerprinting, which identifies every banknote’s fingerprint which is unique and unclonable.
Neural roots/origins of alcoholism identified by British and Chinese researchers
The physical origin of alcohol addiction has been located in a network of the human brain that regulates our response to danger, according to a team of British and Chinese researchers, co-led by the University of Warwick, the University of Cambridge, and Fudan University in Shanghai.
Computer Science academic recognised for outstanding accomplishments
Professor Graham Cormode from the University of Warwick has been recognised for his contribution to Computer Science by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), by being named a 2020 fellow.
World class AI-research to be done by Warwick academics
Three academics at the University of Warwick have been awarded Turing AI Acceleration Fellowships, in which they will develop novel AI techniques, which could have wide-ranging impact, for example through developing digital twins that can aid us in modelling and understanding air pollution and teaching robots how to collaborate amongst themselves and the world.
Artificial intelligence helps predict risk of developing mouth cancer
Artificial intelligence can help doctors better predict the risk of patients developing oral cancer, new research from the University of Sheffield and University of Warwick has revealed.
Warwick Racing team develop second electric race car during lockdown
The Warwick racing team usually spend their summer in the workshop building an electric race car, but lockdown this year due to the covid-19 pandemic didn't stop them from designing and virtually validating a second electric car, WRe2, and racing their original car WRe1 virtually.
Grasshopper jumping on Bloch sphere finds new quantum insights
New research at the University of Warwick has (pardon the pun) put a new spin on a mathematical analogy involving a jumping grasshopper and its ideal lawn shape. This work could help us understand the spin states of quantum-entangled particles.
