Cyber security lab launches at Glasgow Caledonian University
A STATE-of-the-art lab that allows students to experience and combat ‘real-life’ cyber-attacks has been unveiled at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU). The launch of the Cyber Lab housing the Security Operations Centre (SOC) marks a sequence of new partnerships to ensure that the next generation of security experts have the skills and experience required in today’s evolving cyber-threat landscape. By partnering with data centre, cloud and managed security services provider Proact, and security intelligence company LogRhythm, the University has introduced the latest software and services so students can gain critical training by mimicking a real-world environment. The SOC offers a ‘safe’ environment for students to tackle cyber-attacks of all shapes and sizes. The opening coincided with the
Scottish Government’s initiatives to drive digital transformation, where businesses of all kinds are encouraged to leverage digital services. Access to security skills will play a key part in every company’s innovation plans.
Green buses for airport
GLASGOW has become the first UK airport to introduce a fleet of zero-emission electric buses to its car park operation. The three-strong fleet of all-electric battery buses, which were built in Scotland by Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL), will replace the current diesel fleet used to shuttle passengers between the terminal and the airport’s long-stay car park. This is the first time the
BYD ADL Enviro200EV model has been operated anywhere in Scotland and its introduction at Glasgow Airport was made possible thanks to a £450,000 Green Bus Fund support grant from Transport Scotland. The launch of the airport’s
new electric fleet coincided with Scotland’s Climate Week 2019 during which events were organised in schools, colleges and workplaces across the
country to encourage people to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The introduction of
the new full-electric bus fleet is one of a number of projects introduced to help reduce Glasgow Airport’s carbon footprint. Earlier this year, the airport invested £200,000 to deploy eight of petrol/electric plug-in hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 4x4 vehicles across its airfield operations.
New Glasgow Cancer Tests for research and clinical trials The Glasgow Cancer Tests can be
THE Glasgow Precision Oncology Laboratory (GPOL) at the University of Glasgow has developed a ground-breaking new cancer test for research and clinical trials that could ultimately change the way cancer medicine is delivered. The Glasgow Cancer Tests are a suite of
affordable solid tumour and blood cancer tests, developed specifically to enable patients to benefit from real-world precision medicine-based cancer treatments. The Glasgow Cancer Tests are designed
to be used in routine healthcare, such as the NHS, around the world, to enable doctors to offer the latest treatments and trials to cancer patients. These tests will also help scientists discover what makes cancer resistant to chemotherapy drugs, as well as provide data that will aid the development of new treatments. The Glasgow Cancer Tests are being

evaluated by NHS labs in England and Scotland. The tests are also being used in the University of Glasgow-led Precision- Panc clinical trials programme for patients with pancreatic cancer.
used for any cancer and will provide more information to understand what is driving a patient’s cancer, and therefore which drugs would be best to trial for that patient. This will give patients better
access to new treatments and trials based on the genetic makeup of their disease.
