🔬 Every day researchers around the world are using UK Biobank data in new and creative ways. UK Biobank Deputy Chief Scientist Dr Adam Lewandowski, selected a recent study into the sugar intake of children and its relation to diabetes later in life.

100,000 Participants scanned ✅ We are delighted to have completed the world's largest whole body imaging project, scanning the brains, hearts, abdomens, blood vessels, bones and joints of 100,000 volunteers.

Full-body scans of 100,000 people could change way diseases are detected and treated

UK Biobank project to share 1bn images of organs, blood vessels and bones to help study ageing and ill health Scientists expect to gain unprecedented insights into human ageing and the earliest signs of disease after scanning 100,000 people from head to toe in the world’s largest whole body imaging project. The completion of the decade-long task means qualifying researchers worldwide will have access to 1bn de-identified images of the hearts, brains, abdomens, blood vessels, bones and joints of volunteers alongside medical histories and rich data on their genetic makeup, health and lifestyle.
