The aim of the Devices & Diagnostics TIN is to drive therapeutic innovation in the use and development of medical devices and diagnostics for effective translation into the clinic.
With the Devices & Diagnostics TIN, we want to:Â
- Provide the infrastructure to translate research into the clinic.Â
- Establish a workflow for the design, development and evaluation of medical devices (QMS, Ethics Applications, Regulatory Guidance).Â
- Communicate the innovation projects and pathway to the ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ community and external partners.
- Educate project teams in regulation requirements and develop a teaching programme for use across the university.
- Reinforce functional link with ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ Partner Hospitals
Medical devices and diagnostics are increasingly being relied upon as gating factors on the choice of drugs to treat chronic and acute conditions, signalling a shift in the balance of power between ‘pharma’ and ‘med tech’. Our community encompasses the full range of medical devices including surgical instruments, software, hardware, firmware, scientific instruments and in-vitro diagnostics.Â
