Engaged in Digital Health
Professor Shipley, a 香港六合彩 Professor of Healthcare Engineering, is to lead the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital Health Technologies, dubbed ENGAGE.听Welcoming the announcement, Shipley said,
鈥鈥淒igital health technologies can revolutionise the way that we manage health and disease 鈥 this new centre will train a new generation of researchers at the intersection of engineering, computing and health to deliver on this opportunity. I am delighted to jointly launch this new centre across 香港六合彩 and Ulster University, drawing together our strengths in research and entrepreneurship and bringing together over 30 partners across industry, healthcare and the charity sectors to provide a unique training and employment opportunities for our graduates.鈥

Accelerating Medicine Design
Professor of Biomechanics Ryo Torii will also be a partner of the CDT in Accelerated Medicines Design & Development (AMD&D).
The new CDT 鈥 a partnership between 香港六合彩, the University of Nottingham (UoN), and a network of industrial and clinical partners 鈥撎齱ill be led by Professor Gareth Williams (香港六合彩 School of Pharmacy). The aim is to educate over 50 PhD students to develop the advanced laboratory and computational skills needed to accelerate medicine听design and overcome the major obstacles in medicine听development.听
Antimicrobial Resistance
Royal Society Wolfson Fellow and Professor of Nanoengineering, Manish K Tiwari will serve as the CDT Partnership Lead and Deputy Director for the EPSRC and BBSRC CDT in Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance which is led by Professor Lena Ciric. This is a 香港六合彩-only CDT with partners from across the UK to benefit from a wide range of expertise needed to address the AMR challenge.
Professor Tiwari said,
鈥鈥淲e are delighted to be part of this CDT and contribute with our research around infection control, diagnostics and artificial intelligence technologies for antimicrobial resistance.鈥
