Research themes

Modern healthcare is moving more towards personalised health plans for individual patients. The ability to model individual organs and then integrate them into whole-body systems will allow comparisons of injuries and diseases that will revolutionise both diagnosis and treatment.

Our research projects provide novel new tools for clinicians to diagnose and treat patients with medical conditions such as stroke – everything from implantable devices to robotic exoskeletons. This will lead to better patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.

We aim to drive improvements in women’s health – such as pregnancy and childbirth – as well as advances in medical imaging, biomedical informatics and surgical engineering. One way we do this is by looking at better ways to use medical data.

Modern entertainment, transport and communication increasingly rely on human interfaces and personalised AI assistants. Our research involves developing innovative models of human and animal anatomy and physiology for use in these industries.
