Over lunch at our TME, Imaging and Translation Symposium we hosted a 'speed dating' session mixing TME experts with imaging specialists and challenging them to help us set the course for this research theme at our Centre. Ably chaired by @timwitney.bsky.social 📯, we look forward to some great ideas!
