A to Z of Case Studies
- Description
- Trauma patients rushed to A&E with serious eye injuries can now benefit from 'Omnigen'; a ground-breaking sight-saving wound dressing made from amniotic membrane. 'Omnigen' was originally developed by researchers in The University of Nottingham's School of Medicine, work which led to the formation of a University spin-out company NuVision Biotherapies.
- Description
- The Nottingham Molecular Pathology Node (NMPN), is a collaborative research programme between the University of Nottingham, NUH NHS Trust and several industrial partners, developing world leading translational molecular diagnostic capabilities in gastrointestinal, liver and respiratory diseases.
- Description
- Neural Engineering is an inherently new discipline that coalesces engineering, physics and neuroscience for the design and development of brain–computer interface systems, cognitive computers and neural prosthetics. For the implementation of future transformative technologies a new breed of young researchers must be trained to integrate ideas and skills from a broad range of disciplines.
- Description
- Clinicians, scientists and engineers at The University of Nottingham and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust have studied the effects of noise, vibration and stress on premature babies in order to develop a safer, better transport incubator for use during transfers between hospitals for specialist care.
