Science Research Photography Competition 2015

Fourth Year PhD student Rachel Pallan’s human hip joint section photograph took 2nd place in the discovery category of the 2nd Annual EPSRC Photo Competition, an event for all EPSRC-supported researchers and EPSRC-supported doctoral students to share their research using images. Rachel is studying on the DTC Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine programme.

This is a section through the socket of a human hip joint showing multiple tissues merging and working together. Different types of collagen at different stages of formation can be seen in the exterior soft tissues, while porous bone provides structure in the bottom of the image.

The panel drawn from academia, industry and photojournalism were looking for images that demonstrated research in action.
