This Tissue Engineering and Innovation Technology MRes is a one-year course that offers you the opportunity to undertake research in a rapidly evolving field of regenerative medicine. You’ll look at new developments in tissue engineering, biomaterials, bone substitutes, 3D printing for customised implants and prostheses, imaging, dental restoratives and drug delivery. You’ll get to work with academics directing a wide range of cutting-edge research projects, with an emphasis on turning early-stage innovations into new health products. You’ll also learn more about our research, which addresses fundamental challenges in biomedicine and dentistry and aims to create a step-change in the way biological systems are deciphered that goes well beyond the current state of the art.
