William Harvey Research Institute at Queen Mary University is proud to announce the winners of the 2023 Annual Research Review Image Competition. This competition, which showcases the photography skills of staff and students, attracted a diverse range of captivating science and non-science related images.
That feeling when you’re submitting your 10 month report 2 years late and only have 6 months before your final PhD deadline, by Emily Goodchild.
After careful consideration, the top honours were awarded to Emily Goodchild (Clinical Pharmacology and Precision Medicine) for her image titled 'That feeling when you're submitting your 10-month report 2 years late and only have 6 months before your final PhD deadline.' Additionally, Christina Gkantsinikoudi (Microvascular Research) emerged as a winner for her captivating image titled 'A tale of vascular patterning.'
The selection process took place last week at the WHRI Annual Research Review, where staff and students gathered to celebrate the outstanding research taking place within and beyond the Institute. The event provided a platform for participants to share their talent and passion for photography.
The WHRI Annual Research Review Image Competition aims to foster creativity and engagement among the WHRI community. It serves as a testament to the Institute's commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and the pursuit of scientific excellence.
Congratulations to Emily Goodchild and Christina Gkantsinikoudi for their outstanding contributions, and a special thanks to all the participants who made this year's competition a resounding success. The WHRI looks forward to witnessing more remarkable images in the years to come.

Our study investigated the changes in vascular patterning occurring within the mouse heart in response to a high fat diet. Nuclei are stained in blue, Wheat Germ Agglutinin in green, Isolectin B4 in red and phsospho-SMAD3 in white.
