NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre Showcase
This exciting online event will provide an opportunity for our community of researchers, funders, collaborators and external stakeholders to celebrate the NIHR GOSH BRC's research activities and successes from across the last two years.
The event will include research stories and successes from across the BRC, including from some of our early career researches, and will touch on future strategic direction of the themes. It was also showcase some of our patient and public involvement and engagement activities and highlight how the BRC plays a vital role in GOSH as a research hospital.

Image competition - A Moment of Research 2021
We had incredible submissions from across GOSH, the GOS ICH and the GOSH NIHR BRC. Our shortlist of 11 images were then sent to panels to select our 3 winners. The shortlisted 3 images were selected by the GOSH BRC's; Young Persons' Advisory Group, Junior Faculty and wider stakeholders. Please see the shortlisted 3 below, you will be able to vote for your favourite picture via slido during the event. The winner will be announced at the event of the event.
This is a section of tonsil tissue, measuring less than one millimetre by one millimetre. Each immune cell, or leukocyte, is represented by a different colour. Lots of different immune cells flow through the tonsil. And although it may look chaotic close up, taking a step back shows that there is a distinct structure within the tissue. Each cell has its place.
This image is of photoreceptors (orange) grown in the lab from stem cells. These are the cells in our eye that help us to detect light and ultimately see. It is hoped that one day we may be able to transfer cells like these, grown in a lab, into patients to help restore their sight.
Kidney stones may be caused by chronic infections or metabolic diseases. They can result in gradual damage to the normal kidney tissue. On the right (of the image) you can see a large kidney stone known as a ‘staghorn calculus’ – this is particularly striking when compared to the healthy kidney on the left.
