[Academic] Fwd: Diary date: EPSRC Healthcare Technologies, Wed 19th March

[Robert Martin]

Dear All,

Message for those working in "Healthcare Technologies".

Rob

============================


The EPSRC Healthcare Technologies Team will be visiting Strathclyde on 
Wed 19^th March:

1)to inform us of this new EPSRC Challenge Theme ** see information & 
URL below

2)to hear of our capability in this area, and

3)to engage in dialogue on:

Fellowships

Support for Early Career Researchers

Larger, longer term strategic funding options via the healthcare theme, and

One-to-one discussions

*The purpose of this email is to alert you to this event and to invite 
you to attend a plenary session from 09:30 to 11:30*, which will cover 
items 1 and 2.

Venue to be announced, when the numbers are known.

Item 3 will take place from 13:45.

The EPSRC Visitors are:

- Annette Bramley (Theme Lead)

- Katie Daniel (Regenerative medicine, novel treatment/therapeutics)

- Nick Cook (Aging, Lifelong Health and Wellbeing, Technologies for a 
healthy life course)

- Vivienne Blackstock (Medical devices and digital healthcare)

- Mark Tarplee (Predictive modelling, imaging and diagnosis methodologies)

- Vicky Marlow (Molecular/materials based probe/drug delivery technologies)

- Anna Angus-Smyth (Clinical technologies, biomaterials and medical 
engineering)

It would help with domestic arrangements if you could register your 
intention to attend the morning session and/or one or more of the topics 
in Item 3 by returning the grid below to kirstin.jenkins at strath.ac.uk

**Healthcare Technologies is a new EPSRC challenge theme which looks 
across the entire EPSRC research and training portfolio in identifying 
solutions that underpin the Healthcare and Life Sciences sectors 
(including the NHS and pharmaceutical and medical technology industries).

This theme will play a vital role in sponsoring basic research 
capabilities which will create new techniques and technologies to 
address national and global health challenges. The four main strategic 
priorities identified to provide a focus for funding in the current 
Delivery Plan period are:

§*Novel treatment and therapeutic technologies:*advancing Engineering 
and Physical Science research in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, 
artificial implants and prosthetics, surgical tools; advances in complex 
modelling capability to enable biomedical research into disease and 
therapy progression (whole organ / whole system);

§*Enhanced prediction and diagnosis in real time and at the point of 
care:*improved, dynamic multi-modal imaging across scales; biomarker and 
contrast agent development and delivery; sensor technologies to detect 
and measure physical condition and biomedical markers in real time; 
integration of sensors to a system and data handling;

§*Technologies for a healthy life-course:*technologies aimed at 
retaining and restoring personal function and retaining mobility and 
independence; tools for self management of health (primarily via the 
RCUK Ageing: Lifelong Health and Wellbeing programme);

§*Design, manufacture and integration of healthcare 
technologies:*innovative approaches to bringing sustainable healthcare 
technologies through to product; including innovative manufacturing and 
adaptive design approaches.
