Just over a year since launching CBio and our away day (where centre members developed together the centre’s vision, mission and values) all members came together to share their research, build new connections and make time for reconnections, with our first internal conference!

It was a fantastic day, with over 50 attendees, with academics across the Centre presenting their research areas across 11 talks including

  • implantable devices and antennas
  • cardiovascular engineering for devices and diseases
  • co-creation of assistive devices
  • machine learning and sensing
  • microfluidics and biosensors for point-of-care devices for healthcare
  • environmental applications

These research areas extended into a vibrant poster presentation by post-doctoral and postgraduate researchers, presenting over 25 posters, with two prize winners PhD students Meltem Agar and Paramabhorn Tosuwan. We also had the winning Bath Three-Minute-Thesis performance by PhD student Zhuoling Yu!

CBio’s vision is to foster and develop transdisciplinary and translatable research that addresses the grand challenges in human health and wellbeing. We are very excited for what’s to come over the next 12 months and beyond!
