Pioneering
Research
At Lincoln, students have the chance to learn from, and engage in,
pioneering research projects alongside academics who are changing
lives through groundbreaking studies. Many of our courses ofer
opportunities for students to develop their research skills and gain
hands-on experience in a variety of contexts and settings.
Engaging with research is an important way of broadening skill
sets, such as developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
This can help students gain relevant experience that can be further
developed during study or in industry.
At Lincoln, our research is making a real diference to society in
the UK and around the world. We are home to academics who
are leaders in their felds and who are addressing some of the
world’s most pressing problems. These include Nigel Allinson
MBE, Distinguished Professor of Image Engineering, whose work
is improving cancer treatments (read more on page 29). The
knowledge of these expert staf informs our teaching, as we aim to
ensure that our programmes are shaped by the latest developments
in research and industry, and that our students are prepared for
their future careers.

Improving Outcomes for Cancer Patients
Lincoln’s internationally renowned expert in image engineering,
Professor Nigel Allinson MBE, has developed new medical imaging
technology that could revolutionise treatment for thousands of cancer
patients. Developed as part of the £3.3 million OPTIma (Optimising
Proton Therapy through Imaging) project, the technology makes it
possible to provide more efective radiotherapy treatment for those
living with cancer, using protons rather than X-rays to create more
accurate three-dimensional images of a patient’s anatomy. The
technology will be used in one of the UK’s two new NHS high-
energy proton beam therapy centres, providing adaptive and highly
personalised treatment planning and monitoring for patients with
difcult-to-treat cancers.

Promoting Peace in Post-confict Rwanda
An arts project led by Lincoln’s Professor Ananda Breed is exploring
how disciplines like dance, drama, and music can empower young
people to be a driving force for peacebuilding in countries that have
experienced confict, such as Rwanda. Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) is
using the arts as a platform for young people to share their experiences
and communicate their ideas for confict prevention within their own
communities. MAP has created a ‘toolkit’ for educators to teach the
performing arts as well as ofering training sessions to enable them to
deliver residential workshops for young people. The project has already
helped children in fve provinces in Rwanda to improve their academic
performance and enhance communications between them and their
parents.

Exploring Emerging Infectious Diseases
Emerging infectious diseases are heavily infuenced by how and where
we live. The Covid-19 outbreak has highlighted the importance of
understanding this infuence. Dr Creighton Connolly, from the
University of Lincoln’s School of Geography, has led an interdisciplinary
research project which indicates that urban expansion is creating the
conditions for infectious diseases to emerge and spread around the world.
The research is furthering our understanding of how we live, now and in
the future. Without this, public health policymakers locally, nationally,
and internationally will be ill-equipped to identify and mitigate the
heightened risk of infectious disease outbreaks posed by suburban sprawl.
