Plans for nanohealth centre get green light
Thursday 19th February 2009
Plans to construct a so-called nanohealth centre which would feature biomedical scientists have been given the go-ahead.
Set to cost £21.6 million, the facility will reportedly be the first of its kind in Europe.
Recently, the project received funding of more than £10 million from the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Assembly Government.
It will be based at Swansea University and will enable researchers to apply engineering methodologies to build and repair tissues such as cartilage and skin.
"By applying techniques typically used in process engineering to regenerative medicine, we are able to not only predict and control the way cells and structures behave, but test these before they are reintroduced or implanted in the body," stated Dr Chris Wright, portfolio director for process engineering and senior lecturer at Swansea University.
Founded in 1920, Swansea University is a research-led institution which currently has more than 12,000 students.
