Impact

Our research is making a difference around the world. Below are just some examples of how Imperial research has already translated into benefits for people, business and industry, and the natural world.

A clearer picture

People with suspected neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, stroke and epilepsy are getting clearer and earlier diagnoses thanks in part to a new MRI scanning method developed at Imperial.

Firm foundations

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has developed new pile foundation design tools to support deep water oil and gas platforms and offshore wind turbines.

Keeping Crossrail on track

Crossrail and Heathrow Terminal 5 are some of the major construction endeavours that have benefited from a new approach to project management pioneered by Imperial College Business School.

Saving species

Conservation work at Imperial led to the saiga antelope being classified as critically endangered, helping the population level rebound by almost 190%.

Goodbye sneezes

The misery of hay fever and pet allergies could soon be a thing of the past thanks to an Imperial biotech spin-out company now valued at nearly £600 million.
