Evaluation, trials and testing

We have world leading imaging capabilities at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre - at the University and Queens Medical Centre.

This is an interdisciplinary, cross-faculty centre for innovative imaging in experimental and translational medicine, bringing together researchers who develop new medical imaging techniques with clinicians and scientists who use them.

We have:

• staff with training and experience in working to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards
• clinically qualified radiographers available if required

The Centre for Additive Manufacturing is at the cutting edge of research and its application into healthcare.

With 100 academics, researchers and dedicated technicians, our research is enhanced by £10 million additive manufacturing laboratories, supported by state-of-the art testing facilities.

The group works closely with business to translate its technology through to commercial use, through its consultancy company www.addedscientific.com

ISAC is a centre of excellence in surface and interface analytics in partnership with the UK's national metrology institute the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). 

ISAC is a gateway to the hub of world leading experts and facilities at the University of Nottingham and NPL. We co-ordinate and project manage consultancy and analysis services for, and in collaboration with, commercial and research partners.

 From chemical identification to microscopic visualisation, mechanical testing to biological assays, ISAC offers a complete suite of analytical capabilities.

With world leading experts in materials characterisation, nanotechnology, biomedical surfaces, mechanical engineering and beyond, ISAC offers quality analysis and interpretation in a variety of scientific and industrial applications (e.g. manufacturing processes, failure analysis and product development). 

SLIM provides cutting-edge imaging facilities to researchers across the University, as well as external collaborators. SLIM encompasses 3 units

• Super-resolution confocal microscopy (SRM)
• Advanced microscopy unit (electron microscopy, fluorescence, microscopy, histology and light microscopy, image analysis)
• Cell signalling imaging (CSI) (fluorescence imaging, high content imaging, high throughput screening) 

The Medical Imaging Unit (MIU) in the School of Medicine is available for clinicians and scientists who wish to use MRI techniques to enhance their research using the state-of-the-art University facilities.
