Video: '50 years after 50'

In this video Professor John Fisher discusses the work of the Wellcome Trust-EPSRC-Leeds Medical Engineering Centre at the University of Leeds.

Professor Fisher and colleagues aim to make the last 50 years of our (increasingly longer) lives as comfortable as the first 50. They are working on longer-lasting joint replacements for the hip, knee and spine, bioregenerative scaffolds to repair heart valves and blood vessels, stem cell therapies, and biosensors and medical imaging for improved disease diagnosis and treatment.
