Surgery and Interventional Science MD(Res)

Overview

The Division of Surgery and Interventional Science has three research departments: Materials and Tissue - Has a long tradition in the development and evaluation of new materials in first-in-man studies Nanotechnology - The application of the modern principles of nanotechnology to surgery and regenerative medicine Tissue and Energy - The development of highly targeted, sensing and energy based surgical interventions to diagnose and cure disease Overview The Division of Surgery and Interventional Science has three research departments: Materials and Tissue - Has a long tradition in the development and evaluation of new materials in first-in-man studies Nanotechnology - The application of the modern principles of nanotechnology to surgery and regenerative medicine Tissue and Energy - The development of highly targeted, sensing and energy based surgical interventions to diagnose and cure disease

Graduates often take up consultant/clinical academic posts or become specialist registrars with NTNs in trauma and orthopaedics, plastic surgery, urology, sports exercise medicine, transplantation surgery, general surgery, colorectal surgery and other specialist surgical fields. They go on to pursue academic surgical careers in science, elite sport, physical activity promotion, and biomedical industries.

With the breadth of research activity and internationally leading expertise available within the Division of Surgery & Interventional Science we aim to enhance our students' experience – through offering the finest environment for personal and academic development. We have excellent facilities ranging from nanotechnology laboratories to stem cell facilities, GLP laboratories, custom joint design and manufacture, gait analysis and computer modelling facilities within the Division. The majority of our MD(Res) graduates obtain national training numbers (NTNs) in their specialised field of interest.
