EPSRC Centre for Mathematics of Precision Healthcare

Europe has been named the most sceptical region on vaccine safety in the world; researchers surveyed nearly 66,000 people from 67 countries to explore their views on whether vaccines are important, safe, effective, and compatible with their religious beliefs.

Molecular Dimensions

Structural information of membrane proteins plays a vital role in medicine and pharmaceutical drug discovery programs: membrane proteins perform a variety of functions in our body and more than 50% of commercially available drugs target them. This research has benefited the whole scientific community in the field of membrane protein structural biology at worldwide scale.

Molecular Vision

Imperial spinout Molecular Vision Ltd has developed a technology platform (known as the BioLED™ platform) that quickly produce lab-quality information from a single sample of bodily fluids. The low-cost, instrument-free, disposable point-of-care device is able to measure previously incompatible parameters on a single test from a single sample, providing both quantitative and qualitative information.
