Research
Centre for Technology and the Body
Technology has always intersected with the human body. The food that we eat, the medicine we take, the goods we consume and all the materials that make up our environment were all, at one time or another, based on technological innovation.
Stroke Research Group
We are a multidisciplinary group (epidemiologists, stroke physicians, GPs, social scientists, statisticians, health informaticians and health economists) focused on stroke and with a wider interest in vascular long-term conditions and analytics.
