Medical technology (also known as MedTech) is growing at a rapid pace as innovative startups and industry stalwarts alike find new and interesting ways to harness technology. Several innovations are driving these advances, though one of the most noteworthy is printed circuit boards (PCBs) and the software used to create them. PCB software is a […]
Multi-million-pound investment for University spinout to adapt ‘game-changing’ technology for Lyme disease and diabetes. The team who devised ground-breaking technology to create covid tests at the height of the pandemic have joined forces with US biotech giant Innova Medical Group (IMG) to adapt the technology to develop the tests for a range of other diseases […]
Mini kidneys pave the way to better treatments: Approximately 1.7 million Australians have kidney disease. The potential toxicity of new drugs is a major problem in the search for better treatments. We need a safer way to test new therapies, especially in children, to avoid additional risk or harm. Researchers have used cutting edge technology […]

Sea creatures inspire marine robots which can operate in extra-terrestrial oceans: Scientists at the University of Bristol have drawn on the design and life of a mysterious zooplankton to develop underwater robots. These robotic units called RoboSalps, after their animal namesakes, have been engineered to operate in unknown and extreme environments such as extra-terrestrial oceans. […]
Harnessing the healing power within our cells: University of Queensland researchers have identified a pathway in cells that could be used to reprogram the body’s immune system to fight back against both chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases. Dr Kaustav Das Gupta and Professor Matt Sweet from UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience discovered that a molecule […]

A finger-prick blood test can identify people most at risk of being reinfected with COVID-19. The simple test, developed by a small biotech firm based in Cardiff (ImmunoServ Ltd) in close collaboration with Cardiff University researchers, measures the presence of immune T cells that can recognise SARS-CoV-2. Over 300 volunteers were recruited from across the UK […]
