A key feature of CTD research projects is their interdisciplinary nature - each project is co-supervised by academic staff from different scientific disciplines. Additionally, all projects will have the involvement of clinical groups or medical industry companies. This ensures that the science explored and technology developed is rooted in an area of clinical or commercial need.
University of Strathclyde Research Groups currently participating in co-supervised projects include :
- Drug delivery
- Orthopaedics
- Prosthetics
- Cardiovascular Devices
- BiomaterialsTissue Engineering
