I spoke to University and Faculty Executive Boards this week about our aspirations for Engineering at the interface with Life Sciences and Health. We want to build on success we have had with INSIGNEO (who by the way submitted >€10M research proposals to the EU this month led variously from our faculty, that of Medicine, Dentistry and Health, and the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Trust), ChELSI, SCENTRO, SITRAN, KRI and many more activities.
As part of the University's 2022 Futures programme we have created a project "Engineering for Life", and I'm delighted that Visakan will take a pause as HoD of ACSE (with Rob Harrison acting for him) to lead that project over the next 9 months or so.
So expect to see "Engineering for Life" used as short hand for "engineers working with biologists, medics and others across the university and NHS" over the next few months.
