Research Highlights
Imperial College London:
- A multi-station shoulder joint simulator was developed to examine the wear performance of protheses [1].
- Imperial SimTest Lab was rolled out to offer a broad range of technological services to advance development, certification, and marketing of joint implants.
Loughborough University:
- A pioneering manufacturing technique for slicing metal ‘like butter’ was developed to improve the quality of biopsy.
- The project garnered high quality publications, commercial adoption and clinical trials [2, 3].
University of Glasgow:
- A novel simple experimental technique was developed for the first time to characterise the strain rate dependent properties of viscoelastic materials by using ultrasound and high-speed imaging [4].
- The work has been highlighted in [5].
University of Dundee:
- An innovative surgical system was developed to assist surgeons with force feedback in endoscopic sinus surgery.
- The system is used routinely in theatre to provide a training tool and augment patient safety [6].
