University of Strathclyde, UK
Lynn Dennany has attracted ~£2.5M in research funding to develop electrochemical sensors for chemical and biomedical sensor applications. She is making pioneering contributions to three core areas: (1) novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) materials; (2) development of robust surface attachment strategies for enhanced ECL sensitivities and multiplexed detection; (3) devising of novel advanced methodologies for ultrasensitive disease biomarker detection, thus making an impact on improving clinical practice. In particular, the detection of oxidative stress leading to mutagenesis, neurological diseases and aging and the early detection of biomarkers for disease detection are continuing themes within her research.
She is currently the Vice Dean of Knowledge Exchange for the Science Faculty and a Reader in Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde, where she has established the electrochemical analytics group.

Zebang Liu is a third-year Ph.D. candidate at Cardiff University, under the supervision of Dr. Yulia Hicks and Dr. Liba Sheeran. His two bachelor’s degrees, Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Management, provided a solid foundation for engineering research and data analysis. His current research endeavours are concentrated on leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate the classification of Non-specific Low Back Pain (NSLBP) to enable personalised rehabilitation for NSLBP, as well as conducting interpretability studies on my models and research to provide physicians with trustworthy advice. This pioneering work aims to bridge the gap between advanced AI technologies and clinical applications, thereby enhancing the efficacy potential through accurate personalisation of NSLBP management. His commitment to the field is driven by the potential of AI to revolutionise healthcare practices, particularly in the domain of musculoskeletal disorders, promising a future where diagnosis and treatment are both more precise and patient-centric.
