Generic List
- Description
- Biological hydrogen production at the University of Birmingham. Hydrogen is seen by many as the fuel of the future because it has a very high energy density, three times that of petrol or diesel, and because its use produces only water instead of greenhouse gases and other exhaust pollutants.
- Description
- The Biomaterials research theme explores a diverse range of research topics, ranging from dental biomaterials through to microbiological responses to biomaterials and the tissue engineering of bone and oral mucosa.
- Description
- Advances in medicine (e.g. "key-hole" surgery) require ever smaller devices. The merger of two important applications of engineering into a single Bio-medical and Micro Engineering Research Centre enables Birmingham to make a major contribution to this trend.
- Description
- The Bio-Medical Engineering Research Group is part of the Bio-medical and Micro Engineering Research Centre. The group aims to understand the physical properties of natural and synthetic materials and to use this understanding to design and develop medical devices.
- Description
- Biomedical applications of imaging and visualisation, from basic sciences to the translational research which takes new developments from the research laboratory to the clinic.
- Description
- One of the six research themes within the School of Biosciences, research into the interactions between animals and their environments in the School of Biosciences is co-ordinated through the BioSystems and Environment Change research theme.
- Description
- The University of Birmingham is one of the leading centres in the UK for clinical trials, having a wealth of experience across a wide range of diseases, clinical settings and trial designs. The Birmingham Centre for Clinical Trials (BCCT) brings together clinical trial expertise from across the University and, in particular, the three large, well-established, UKCRC fully-registered Clinical Trials Units. The trials portfolio at the University of Birmingham is supported by a comprehensive expert infrastructure in trial methodology.
- Description
- The Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education brings together a multidisciplinary team from across the University to tackle fundamental railway engineering problems. The team actively engage with industry, other universities through Rail Research UK-A, and international partners. The centre also delivers the MSc postgraduate programme in Railway Systems Engineering and Integration.
- Description
- The University of Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit (BCTU) is a Research Unit within the School of Medicine specialising in the design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials. The BCTU provides the scientific, technical and computing expertise needed to support clinical trial research from conception through to completion.
