    Enabling longer, healthier, and happier lives

    Advances in medicine mean we are living longer than ever, alongside our survival chances following devastating, life-changing events. However, these successes lead to significant challenges. We've extended life expectations, but there is no commensurate improvement in the quality of life to match the longer life span, and there is an increasing demand to deliver new technologies that allow us to diagnose and treat patients more rapidly.

    From laboratory through to clinical trials, our interdisciplinary researchers are advancing bone structures and tissue regeneration, finding new methods of detecting brain injuries and cancers early, improving anti-scarring dressings and developing innovative, bespoke prosthetic devices. Through our research, we will aid healing and make a difference to patients with debilitating conditions, ensuring people can live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

We are creating an environment and an infrastructure where we can take technologies at an early stage of development and move them rapidly through to clinical trial, helping patients at an earlier stage to achieve better outcomes and long-term benefits.
