Impact of our Research

We engage with hundreds of partners in collaborative research. Here are some examples of spin-out companies and collaborations which have led to recent impact in the wider world		What do we mean by Impact? Impact is the difference that our research is making in people's lives; social, economic or cultural benefit Ways we ensure Impact Knowledge Transfer activities Access to Analytical & Research Facilities Collaborative Research LabStart for Start-up companies Licensing and Spin-out activity News Dr Matthew Jenner awarded BBSRC Future Leader Fellowship Alzheimer's discovery published in Science Advances Cancer targeted with reusable ‘stinging nettle’ treatment More electronic materials opened up with new metal-organic framework Retarding oxidation of copper nanoparticles without electrical isolation, and the size dependence of work function Photoactive Iridium Complexes for Cancer Therapy Warwick Chemistry graduate invents revolutionary device for testing drugs BonLab makes hydrogels communicate New Peptide Based "Antifreeze' for Cell Storage Warwick Chemist tackling Tuberculosis awarded Industrial Fellowship
