AI can be a divisive topic – but is it really all or nothing?

AI is changing our world rapidly, sometimes in ways that are hard to predict. We need research to understand what’s happening, spot problems early, and develop ways to responsibly manage them.

This knowledge can feed into laws and policies that help us maximise AI’s benefits and minimise the unintended consequences.

How does fat go from helpful to harmful? 🤔

Fat in itself isn’t unhealthy - but how it functions and where it’s stored can be.
When fat moves to the wrong places in the body, it can lead to metabolic disease.

Dr Alice Pollard .lms is growing human fat cells in the lab to understand how that shift happens and how we can prevent it.

Because fat tissue dysfunction affects everyone differently, Alice is creating models from a wide range of patients to help develop more targeted treatments for metabolic diseases.
