Funded by Research England, the £10m Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) will be a globally unique, cross-disciplinary institute to develop novel biomimetic membranes. Led by Professor Roslyn Bill from Biosciences and Professor Paul Topham from Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, AIME will use biomimetic polymer membranes for applications such as water purification and drug development.
Membranes, both biological and synthetic, are hugely important in many sectors. For example, the world’s top ten selling human medicines all target proteins in biological membranes, while synthetic polymer membranes are used in the US$100bn/year water purification industry. The team behind AIME believes that the full potential of membranes will only be realised by an interdisciplinary group spanning biology, physics and chemistry that can investigate membranes holistically.

A research collaboration between the University of Leicester and a specialist neurological care and rehabilitation centre has been hailed as Outstanding by Innovate UK.
PJ Care, which operates across three centres in Milton Keynes and Peterborough, has revolutionised its personal care management thanks to the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). The project has led to the development of a new clinical assessment framework, the Wellbeing in Dementia Inventory (WiDI), which enables continuous wellbeing monitoring among neurodegenerative patients.
The initiative was driven by the need to address the limitations of current care standards for patients with neurological impairments in the UK, which were deemed outdated and insufficient.

The National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) will be a £105million 70-bed, purpose-built and highly energy efficient facility that aims to transform outcomes for people who have suffered potentially life-changing injury, trauma or illness, by fully integrating research, innovation, education and training with clinical practice.
The research activity will be delivered by the NRC Academic Network, led by Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham. The Network aims to create improved education and training opportunities in the field of rehabilitation and deliver world-leading research and innovation that will help to transform clinical rehabilitation in the UK.
To find out more about the NRC, explore the latest advancements in rehabilitation technologies and connect with experts in the field, attend the first National Rehabilitation Centre’s Conference on Rehabilitation Technologies at the University of Nottingham on 17th and 18th September 2024.
