CyMap, an innovative lens-free microscope developed by Cancer Research UK scientists and members of the Optical Biochips Consortium*, has won first prize in the Medical and Healthcare category of The Engineer’s Technology and Innovation Awards as well as the overall Grand Prix prize.
The awards recognise and honour innovation in the UK resulting from the collaboration between academia and industry.
The technology could be developed into a compact cell imaging system for use in research laboratories. It also has the potential for use in medical diagnostics systems to quantify and analyse medical samples in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and clinical laboratories.
