College of Science & Engineering

Research into healthcare is undertaken in every School in the College of Science and Engineering. Much of the work is interdisciplinary, collaborating with colleagues in academia, industry, the NHS and beyond.

The UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good Health and Wellbeing, aims 'to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages' and our research contributes to achieving this goal both locally and through many international partnerships.

Medical devices research ranges from paper-based diagnostics to test and aid disease elimination in vulnerable communities around the world to the development of novel microscopy platforms for future world leading biological research.

Mathematical, statistical and computational modelling is applied to cardiac and cancer physiology and disease as well as modelling the human retina. Our biomaterials research outputs finds applications in medical devices, diagnostics and implants amongst others.

Pioneering technologies are being researched targeting applications in computational biology, intelligent social agents, decision support tools, brain computer interfaces and health modelling.

Novel chemistry is developed to understand biology and address challenges in biomedicine including cancer, stroke, dementia and cardiovascular disease.

Across the College, Machine Learning, communications, and Quantum technologies and are being applied to healthcare to provide wearable devices and remote monitoring for proactive healthcare.
