revolutionised the detection of osteoporosis.
Both achievements feature in Eureka UK's list of ‘100
discoveries and developments in UK universities that have changed

The University supports a spectrum of
single-discipline and interdisciplinary research and a
culture that celebrates research
excellence with real-world uses. It also expects all
academic staff to be innovative in their fields.
We ensure that our research meets
business and regional body needs, and that it is adequately
resourced and funded.
