We are delighted to announce, along with Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, joint funding from our 2019 research call, has been awarded to Lyzeum Ltd.

Despite Covid-19, which has meant many research projects being put on hold, this joint funding from 2019 enabled the research grant winners to commence the project earlier this year.

The funding will assist Cambridge based Lyzeum Ltd, who is working with a multi-disciplinary team of mathematicians and pathologists from both the University of Cambridge and the University of Edinburgh to develop an AI (artificial intelligence) solution to help and speed up the diagnosis of coeliac disease.

Hilary Croft, CEO of Coeliac UK said: “This new research is a tremendous step forward to potentially help speed up one element of the diagnosis journey, reduce subjectivity and improve accuracy. Pioneering research is essential to aid in developing new testing methods and we are thrilled to have combined forces with Innovate UK once again to advance our knowledge and support innovation that can improve the lives of people with coeliac disease.”
