The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has sponsored a £5.2M Programme Grant (IMPACT) led by the University of Edinburgh (UoE). IMPACT (Implantable Microsystems for Personalised Anti-Cancer Therapy) is a 5 year, multi-disciplinary collaboration, bringing together an internationally recognized team of engineers, chemists, veterinary clinicians, social scientists and human cancer specialists from the University of Edinburgh and Heriot Watt University.
The IMPACT team includes Investigators and clinicians with world class track records in Bioengineering, Chemistry, Medicine and Social Sciences, as well as a wider team of experienced researchers, research associates and postgraduate students who will work on developing new approaches to cancer treatment. As part of its research, IMPACT is now seeking to recruit high-calibre PhD students who wish to join a dynamic multi-disciplinary and world-class team.
