The NIHR Research Design Service West Midlands (RDS WM) is running a short workshop to give an overview of the newly launched NIHR Pre-doctoral Local Authority Fellowship (PLAF) scheme. The event is free and virtual and takes place on Tuesday 23^rd February 2021 at 1pm for one hour. We hope that anyone who is considering applying for this fellowship will attend to gain an insight into the things they need to consider when making their application. I would be grateful if this could be circulated to any potential fellowship applicants.

If you or anyone in your organisation would also like to attend please see the attached flyer on how to register.

Dinosaurs, Dodos and Solving Murders – the X-ray Computed Tomography Research Technology Platform Launch Event

We are delighted to announce the launch of the X-ray Computed Tomography Research Technology Platform (CT RTP), with a virtual launch showcase at 2pm on 23^rd February 2021. Sign up to the event here!

Professor Mark Williams and the CT RTP team will introduce the technology that researchers across Warwick will be able to access through the RTP, and provide overviews of the fantastic examples of applications the team have worked on, from solving murders with WM Police, to finding secret teeth in dinosaurs, assessing the quality of 3d printing and work on real time monitoring of battery failure.

The session will have a Q&A opportunity to discuss potential applications and questions on the technology, with the content accessible to those from all disciplines.

More information on the CT RTP can be found on the website, and in the RTP brochure. The CT RTP is the 10^th RTP to be formed since the programme’s inception in 2014. The RTPs provide an integrated network of world-class facilities and expertise that enable researchers to perform outstanding science. Any researcher at Warwick can get access to these technologies, which include electron microscopy, bioinformatics, polymer characterisation, scientific computing and much more!

Our AMR centre brings together Warwick and international academics, and industry partners. Our aim is to push forward fundamental discovery towards the development of effective antimicrobials, diagnostics and interventions informed by data, modelling and practice.
