Industry

Our industry partners provide strong support, training resources and guidance to the CDT.

Addressing Challenges in Biomedical AI

The key aim of the CDT is to foster collaboration between academic researchers and industrial partners in biomedicine by developing novel methodologies to address critical industrial challenges. These collaborations will bring significant benefit to society by aligning our strength in clinical medicine and artificial intelligence research with the diverse expertise base and interests of our partners.

To realise this vision we are training cohorts of Doctoral scientists in advanced analytical skills that will be instrumental in supporting industry in developing their capabilities in Biomedical Artificial Intelligence.
