Scholars' List Scheme
The Head of College Scholars’ List Scheme was founded in 2012 by Prof. Anna Dominiczak, Head of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences. The 'Scholars’ List' Scheme is aimed at recognizing outstanding undergraduate Level 2 and Level 3 scholars from across all areas of the College including medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine and life sciences. Students who are placed in the top 10% of their class in assessments in the previous year and who take an active part in the associated extracurricular scheme are invited to apply to the Scholars’ List, an achievement that will be noted on their Higher Education Achievement Record (HEAR).
Undergraduate Medical students selected for the Scholars' List Scheme:

My project is about the use of systolic eccentricity index (sEI) as a method of assessing right ventricular function following lung resection. sEI is calculated using measurements from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE). The aim of my project is to assess whether TTE measured sEI can accurately reflect CMR measured sEI, and whether it can be used as a non-invasive measure of RV function in patients post-lung resection. |

I will be based at the GRI, working with the colorectal surgery and radiology departments. The project will involve looking at blood vessels calcification, and examining whether or not it is a useful prognostic factor for patients with colorectal cancers. |

Project |
I will work with Dr Antonia Roseweir during my summer project to investigate the involvement of an inflammatory pathway: PTEN/Akt on Colorectal Cancer so as to determine if this pathway affects inflammation or is associated with patient survival. Identification of such pathway could potentially provide novel therapeutic targets and predictive biomarkers, which may improve patient's survival in the future. |

My summer project is based in the BHF Glasgow Cardiovascular Research Centre. I will be looking at Atherosclerosis and the inflammatory signalling that is involved in the initial stages. As part of this project I will have the chance to do several experiments to gain experience in a laboratory and will also be building up a report to allow me to gain an in-depth understanding of the topic. |
