New Centre to Revolutionise Technology
The University of Bradford is a partner with four other leading universities as part of a £5.7 million, government-backed initiative to transform the way replacement joints and other medical implants are made.
The Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Medical Devices will bring together academics and industrialists in a bid to maintain the UK's leading role in the medical technologies industry and improve the quality of lives of patients.
It is one of four new centres for innovative manufacturing announced by Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts that will share a pot of £21 million grant funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
