RESEARCH PROFILE
- 2008 RAE Result: 75 per cent of research activity in the Division was rated as world leading or internationally excellent.
- Research income: The expansion of the Division's research capacity over the last 5 years is reflected in the growth of competitively won research income which has increased to over £40m in 2011/12. This is primarily due to the award of a number of strategic grants, and the creation of two new research departments in Biomedical Engineering and Perinatal Imaging and Health.
- Current number of academic staff: 70.
- Current number of research students: 100.
- Recent publications: Papers have been published in the Lancet, Nature Medicine, Magnetic Resonance Medicine, Journal of Bone & Mineral Research, Medical Image Analysis, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Circulation, Dalton Transactions.
