The Centre for Kidney Research and Innovation is embarking on a new initiative in collaboration with the Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering from the University of Derby.
The IISE has a mission statement of helping manufacturing and engineering companies in the East Midlands to innovate and grow, and works with industrial partners such as Rolls Royce, Toyota and Bombardier.
By working together, we aim to develop technologies to improve patient monitoring during dialysis that will inform and feed refinements in the delivery of dialysis treatments that will ultimately improve patient outcomes. This innovative project is generously funded by local entrepreneur Mr Mel Morris and we are now in the planning and set up phases for a three year programme of collaborative work.
