We are delighted to see COST Action TETRA — The mETamaterial foRmalism approach to recognize cAncer (CA23125) gaining increasing visibility in the European and international media.
Recent coverage in Spain and Türkiye has highlighted TETRA's innovative research at the intersection of metamaterials, photonics, mathematical modelling, artificial intelligence, biomedical imaging and cancer recognition.
The growing media interest reflects an important part of TETRA's mission: ensuring that scientific advances do not remain confined to laboratories and academic publications, but reach healthcare professionals, researchers, stakeholders, policymakers and the wider public.
At the heart of TETRA is an ambitious interdisciplinary idea: to explore whether the physical and electromagnetic properties of biological tissues can provide new quantitative information for cancer recognition. By bringing together expertise from physics, engineering, mathematics, biology, medicine and AI, the Action is building bridges between fundamental research and future healthcare applications.
Media visibility also helps us communicate the wider impact of the TETRA community. In its first two years, Action members have generated more than 65 scientific publications, established new international collaborations and attracted over €2 million in additional research funding through successful projects and grant applications.
Every article, interview and press feature helps bring this research to new audiences, creates opportunities for collaboration and strengthens the connection between science and society.
We thank our researchers, partners, journalists and institutions across Europe and beyond who are helping communicate the TETRA vision.
Connecting science. Translating knowledge. Improving lives.
