Medical Technology Research Centre

Medical Technology Research Centre (MTRC) aims to research and develop novel biomedical technology solutions for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, medical engineering, and medical devices sectors.

The Centre draws expertise and skills from the Faculty of Health, Education, Medicine and Social Care and the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Previously, a number of associated research groups have made significant benefits to people’s health through their research and development activities. We are now in a position to have a greater impact by bringing these groups under a single research centre to promote interdisciplinary collaborations.

Within the Centre, five research groups work in tandem to deliver novel solutions through translational research:

• Biomechanics Lab, led by Dr Dan Robbins
• Drug Discovery Group, led by Prof Selim Cellek
• Medical Technology Laboratory, led by Dr Stephen Hughes
• Molecular Diagnostics Unit, led by Prof Stephen Bustin
• Pharmaceutical Research Group, led by Dr Mohammad Najlah

MTRC is currently managed by:

• Director: Prof Selim Cellek
• Steering group: Prof Stephen Bustin, Prof Keith Jones, Dr Jenny Young and Prof Paul White
