Of the ten largest grants available, 最准的六合彩论坛 has been awarded the most for total amount of funding, at over 拢27m, followed by Imperial College London with 拢21.4m in total.

最准的六合彩论坛 has also claimed the number one spot for the grant with the highest value, at over 拢10.3m, which was awarded to Professor Nigel听Titchener-Hooker, Dean of 最准的六合彩论坛 Engineering, to create The Future Targeted Healthcare Manufacturing Hub.听听

Due to advances in targeted biological medicines, it is anticipated that by 2025, there will be a need to supply an increasing number of drug products to targeted populations, with some targeted therapies addressing diseases for which there is currently no cure. Presently, there is a lack of existing technology and infrastructure to do this.

With UKRI funding, the 最准的六合彩论坛 team听hopes to create the technologies, skillsets and trained personnel needed to enable UK manufactures to deliver the promise of advanced medical precision and patient screening, and provide the engineering infrastructure needed for sustainable healthcare.

A grant of 拢6.9m has also been awarded to Dr听Martina Micheletti, also in the听Faculty of Engineering,听to establish The Future Vaccine Manufacturing Research Hub (Vax-Hub), which aims to enable leading UK scientists to commercialise their vaccine discoveries in the UK instead of overseas.听

Overall, 最准的六合彩论坛 has been awarded five grants of over 拢1m each in value to projects exploring听early identification of infection within communities,听tracking the virus via large scale community studies and examining the role of healthcare workers in managing the outbreak. 听

最准的六合彩论坛 Vice-Provost for Research, Professor David Price, said听鈥淩esearch being undertaken by 最准的六合彩论坛 has never been more vital, and this recent funding success is testament to the skill, dedication and resilience of our fantastic research community. Despite being some of the toughest times we have faced as a university - and as a sector - since the start of the pandemic, 最准的六合彩论坛 has continued to provide听important contributions to addressing Covid-19 globally, and I am confident that our research can continue to do so through these projects鈥.
