Independently, the Universities of St Andrews and Dundee have enviable reputations in the fields of medicine, physics and the biological sciences.
St Andrew’s School of Physics and Astronomy is an acknowledged centre of excellence in physics research and a focal point for medical photonics. Around the University of Dundee, with its eminent Schools of Medicine, Life Sciences and Engineering, and Ninewells Teaching Hospital (part of the UK’s NHS), a community of knowledge has grown up in the last two decades that offers unique scientific and commercial opportunities to make far-reaching advances in diagnosis and treatment. Add the two together and they represent a formidable bank of research excellence, clinical expertise and application development - a force with the potential to create world-class research of enormous benefit to 21st century healthcare.
IMSaT is a dedicated organisation that integrates a wide range of expertise available across all disciplines and combines it with our academic and corporate research partners and investors. IMSaT bridges the traditional gap between scientific research and the conception and implementation of novel biomedical devices and clinical procedures. The result is unequalled innovation and speed of implementation from lab to clinic.
