The Living Lab ā which will be on the UofG campus adjacent to the @NHSGGC QEUH ā is made possible by further support from a consortium of industry partners, investment from the @GlasgowCityDeal & @GlasgowCC, and support from @gsc1.
The āgame-changingā Ā£91m-project will employ the Triple Helix of academia, industry & NHS to help Scotland lead the world in #PrecisionMedicine, translating research innovation into clinical practice for patient benefit, & transforming the area of Govan for economic growth.
š Scientists at our @CVRinfo have collaborated with artist @Scient_Art on a detailed model of the #SARSCoV2 virus particle, which causes #COVID19, using methods developed with @GSofASimVis @GSofA š¦

On 3rd March scientists at our @CVRinfo were able to sequence #SARS_COV_2 from Scotlandās first #Covid19 case. In <24hrs researchers were able to share the data worldwide - a crucial process in informing vital research #WorldChangingGlasgow
Shortly after, @CVRinfo were named as one of 13 key centres in the Ā£20m #COVID19 Genomics UK Consortium, continuing their work on whole genome sequencing from confirmed Scottish patients as a crucial part of the UK-wide scientific alliance šgla.ac.uk/news/headline_ā¦
šWe're proud to announce we will host a major #COVID19 testing facility in #Glasgow, in support of current @P_H_S_Official efforts against the pandemic.
Itās opened in collaboration with @scotgov & in partnership with @BioAscent @thermofisher & @AmazonUK #unisupport 1/

The new testing centre will provide capacity for substantially more #COVID19 tests per day & will be located in UofGās Clinical Innovation Zone on @NHSGGCās Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus, with support also from @BootsUK @RoyalMail @wellcometrust. #unisupport 2/
This facility is part of a series of measures to increase testing and response to the spread of this #coronavirus and is made possible by over 500 volunteers.

One of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art was discovered in #Clydebank at the end of the 19th century. Buried again in 1965 for protection, UofG's Dr Kenny Brophy & team excavated the @cochnostone again in 2016 to conduct intricate digital scans and documentationāļøš¬
Tonight MSPs at @ScotParl will recognise the importance of the work undertaken by Dr Brophy, @UofGArchaeo and the countless volunteers from the Clydebank community who helped, including the local fire brigade - seen here helping to clean the stonešØāšš
After the 2016 excavation, with all recordings and measurements taken, the @cochnostone was reburied for posterity once again. @urbanprehisto was hopeful the site would one day feature a visitor centre for future generations of archaeologists #WorldChangingGlasgow #TeamUofG
At the UofG press conference for the FIELD study results, published today @NEJM, @UofGMVLSās @WillStewNeuro says āThis is the largest study to date looking at the incidence of neurodegenerative disease in any sport not just former professional footballersā
#WorldChangingGlasgow
#WorldChangingGlasgow
Commenting on the findings from this landmark UofG led study @WillStewNeuro says: āAlthough former pro football players had a higher risk of death from neurodegenerative disease, they are less likely to die of other common diseases, such as heart disease and some cancersā.
āLooking in detail at neurodegenerative disease subtypes, the study revealed risk ranged from a 5-fold increase in #AlzheimersDisease, through an approximately 4-fold increase in #MND, to a 2-fold risk for #Parkinsons Disease, compared to population controlsā @WillStewNeuro
