winning - A series of captivating images from UCL researchers have been showcased as part of an image competition called 'A moment of research'. Staff from across UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (UCL GOS ICH) and GOSH including the National Institute for Health Research Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR GOSH BRC) were invited to submit images that highlighted any aspect of their life-changing research that helps find treatments and cures for some of the most complex illnesses, transforming the lives of seriously ill children both in the UK and across the world. These ranged from beautiful microscopy to intricate representations of data and photography. The winning image, 'Leukocyte Kaleidoscope' entered by PhD candidate Christina Burke (UCL GOS ICH) shows immune cells in the tonsil tissue. Among the blues and pinks are T- cells, which play an important role in fighting cancer. Those surrounded by a yellow ring are at risk of becoming over-stimulated, or 'exhausted'. Christina's team are looking at images like this to better under how T-cells interact with other cells within a tumour.
