CC and The Engine venture ecosystem: an alignment of ambition
We're ramping up our commitment to The Engine, the ambitious venture ecosystem spun out of MIT to support ‘Tough Tech’ companies and solve key challenges in climate change, human health and advanced systems ...
Why the world needs digitally connected active implant innovation
Dr Ashwini Sharan and Cambridge Consultants provoked debate with a film, ‘A day in the life of a Parkinson’s patient in 2030’, which imagined seamless therapy enabled by smart active implants, surgical robotics, digital connectivity and AI ...
Should robots control accuracy and precision in surgery?
Should we be designing systems that autonomously control both accuracy and precision for the best outcome of the patient? Andy Savarese explores the questions and looks ahead as the role of surgical robotics evolves ...
In vitro diagnostics needs seismic change
The current state of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) is no longer fit for purpose. In vitro diagnostics needs seismic change to improve patient outcomes and deliver economic benefits ...
Can cell therapy become cheaper and easier?
Cell and gene therapy is hailed as the future of 21st century medicine but is currently too expensive to be widely used. As a principal scientist in synthetic biology, Matthew Jones is part of a team addressing this issue in ...
