Professor Alejandro Frangi, University of Manchester

Professor Frangi will investigate the role of imaging, modelling and simulation as an alternative and complementary method of discovering, developing, and testing new medical devices. Using ‘in-silico’ trials, where computer analysis is used to engineer medical devices from their conception, his research aims to optimise clinical outcomes by designing systems for specific patient groups, and with minimal harm to animals and humans compared with current medical technology trials.
