Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Acoustics Group

Our group’s research topics range from the protection of marine mammals to the medical use of ultrasonics and the environmental effects of aircraft noise.

Biofilms

Biofilms are a collective of one or more types of microorganisms that can grow on different surfaces. Their impact is central to some of the most urgent global challenges, including food and water security, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), infections disease and contamination and more.

Microbiology

We work on topics like patient treatment regimens, catheter design and management, and surgical instrument decontamination.
