The Goldilocks collar
Professor Chris McDermott and his team are transforming the lives of their patients by giving them some independence back – with the help of NASA technology.
Precision medicine for Parkinson's Disease
By gaining a better understanding of Parkinson's Disease, we are working towards potentially life-changing treatments to slow it down and one day halt it in its tracks.
Pioneering stem cell therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS)
A new treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) has had a life-changing impact on patients who have the relapsing-remitting form of the disease.
Repairing nerves with 3D printing
Our researchers are using a unique library of human tissue – and biocompatible 3D printed materials – to improve patient treatment and quality of life.
Revolutionising autonomous technology
Nature will always find the simplest way to do something. This is the case for autonomous technology, where bees are providing a novel solution.
Discovering a new starting point for Alzheimer’s disease
The discovery of a biomarker linked to the development of Alzheimer’s Disease could lead to a new way of screening the elderly population for early signs of the disease.
MND discovery could lead to new treatments
Scientists have discovered a new gene variation that causes motor neurone disease (MND) in a novel biological pathway that until now hasn’t been linked with neurodegeneration.
