Camstent antimicrobial catheters

Description
We have developed a class of materials resistant to bacterial attachment used as a medical device coating. The materials resist bacterial attachment, rather than killing the bacteria, which has the advantage that that biofilm colonisation is prevented, potentially preventing infection in patients, and that the coating should therefore not contribute to bacterial resistance. This is being commercialised with Camstent Ltd

Cancer diagnosis during surgery

Cancer diagnosis during surgery

Description
Using optical microscopy in this surgical technique, called tissue-conserving surgery, we can now produce images of individual cells and tumours with micron-scale spatial resolutions in only 20 minutes, making it clinically relevant and increasingly employed in the treatment of cancer, such as skin or breast.
