York's medicine-related engineering showcased

Posted on 1 July 2013

C2D2-sponsored research featured in the 2013 Royal Academy of Engineering Soirée held at the University of York

The exhibition, which was this year themed Engineering: Design for Living, was held on 27th June as part of the University's 50th anniversary and was attended by Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal. The exhibition showcased the many hidden and surprising ways that engineering influences and underpins key research including in the area of medicine.

Amongst the research on show that C2D2 had helped sponsor was an objective diagnostic tool set to test for Parkinson's disease developed by Dr Steve Smith in the Department of Electronics and a system to help stroke victims with rehabilitation devised by Dr Adar Pelah, also a member of the Department of Electronics.
