We are currently working with a UK University to present a series of lectures and workshops as part of a program designed to help physicists develop an impact plan for their research.  We are also providing mentoring to the participants to support the planning process.

We are looking forward to the Medtec conference in Galway in early October; a great opportunity to meet up with old friends and make new contacts.   We will be promoting a new intradermal drug delivery device that offers precise control over dose, speed, depth, injection volume and needle dwell time.

We are working with a major US corporation to identify potential solutions to reduce the amount of corrosive gases in an industrial air flow application.  We are looking for reductions of 50% or higher.  Please get in touch if you have any research that might fit the bill.

We are working with a team that has developed a way to construct porous graphene using a low cost, water-based method where the layers self assemble.  The manufacturing process provides very fine control over the size of the pores which are typically in the mesoporous range.  Applications are expected in separations science, filtration, biosensors, drug delivery and […]

We are currently working with a UK university that has developed a computer simulation focusing on respiratory and cardiovascular physiology, disease, and treatment,  including the effects of mechanical ventilation. It is expected that this model will be used to generate ‘virtual patients’; bedside in silico clones which are personalised for each patient within an Intensive […]

Diagnostig Limited was established in 2012 as a Point of Care (PoC) diagnostics company. The company is a spin-out from Bangor University and has technology that focuses on novel devices for the diagnosis of Mycobacterial infections (including Tuberculosis) using a proprietary lipid technology.  Diagnostig’s core technology is based on the manufacture of specific mycolic acids which are […]

We are currently working with a team that has developed an intradermal drug delivery device that offers precise control over dose, speed, depth, injection volume and needle dwell time.  The device is close to market and was developed for a specific orphan disease, but we are now investigating applications across a number of alternate potential markets.  The […]

We are just starting a survey to benchmark IP agreements between Universities and Hospitals that are linked through NHIR funded Biomedical Research Centres and Units.  The aim is to profile best practice  in a complex multi-partner environment.  The sponsors of the report are willing to share the executive summary with participants, so please get in touch if you […]

We are delighted to report that Cath will be running two training courses in Beijing and  Shanghai  for China Technology Exchange (CTEX).  The courses will cover a range of tech transfer related topics, including licensing and spin-outs.  The courses have been organised by ASTP-Proton as part of their on-site training service  We are really excited to be part of […]

We are working with a UK university team that has developed a novel  microfluidic technique to enable the rapid and controlled formation of an emulsion containing monodisperse aqueous droplets with a 1 femtolitre volume.  The technology is expected to impact on single molecule detection, enabling the observation of rare but critical biochemical transformations, or detect the smallest trace […]
