Business engagement
The UK medical technology sector is thriving, having doubled in size since 2009. All indications are that this increase is set to continue.
This is driven by an ageing population, advances in technology, rising incidences of chronic diseases and congenital disorders.
If we are to solve these global problems and transform peoples’ lives for the better it is essential that academia and businesses work together and partnering with the CDT in Advanced Biomedical Materials could represent the first step of this journey.
Our CDT adds further value and is very different to an individually funded PhD as it brings together the subject areas of materials science, biology, polymer chemistry, bioelectronics, cell biology and opportunities for clinical testing and applicability.
