Dr Tim Rawson, Clinical Research Fellow has been awarded an EMBRACE Pump Priming Award at the last call
Congratulations to Dr Tim Rawson, Clinical Research Fellow at the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit for winning an EMBRACE Pump Priming Awards. He was one of three winners from the last round of Pump Priming awards.
The project entitled Real-time Enhanced Antimicrobial ConTrol (REACT) involves Drs Danny O’Hare (Dept of Bioengineering), Mark Gilchrist (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust), Professor Martin Wilkins (Imperial Clinical Research Facility), Professor Tony Cass (Department of Chemistry), Drs Pau Herrero Vinias and Maryam Modarai (EMBRACE Fellows, Engineering and Medicine), Dr Pantelis Georgiou (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) and Professor Alison Holmes (Dept of Medicine).
Dr Rawson has received the £10,000 Pump Priming award to develop and pilot a closed loop control system for the precision, real-time dosing of commonly used antimicrobials. This is working in collaboration with Electronic Engineering, Chemistry, Bioengineering, and the Trust. The funding will go towards fabrication and testing of a novel subdermal sensor and data collection to develop a range of closed loop controllers.
