MRes Medical Robotics And Image-guided Intervention

Gain the research experience required to work within the innovative field of medical robotics and surgical imaging.

Medical Robotics and Image-Guided Interventions are two technology-driven areas of medicine that have experienced significant growth and improvement over the last twenty years, due to developments of less invasive treatments.

This is a multidisciplinary field and is led by three internationally-known departments:

the Hamlyn Centre for Medical Robotics (part of the Institute of Global Health Innovation)

the Department of Surgery and Cancer

the Department of Computing

All teaching and research will take place in the facilities of the Hamlyn Centre, which is supported by a major endowment from Lady Hamlyn and the Helen Hamlyn Trust, as well as a major medical robotics infrastructure grant from the Wolfson Foundation and the National Institute for Health Research.

Taught modules include a mixture of engineering and medical topics such as medical robotics and instrumentation, minimally invasive surgery, medical and surgical imaging, image guided intervention, sensing, perception and neuroergonomics.

By the end of your studies, you will have a broad general knowledge of the current technology used in clinical work, and an interdisciplinary knowledge of how to work in collaboration with surgeons to develop new technological advances.

You will also have experience in the methodology and principles of conducting research with application to clinical medicine and surgery, and the skills required to have a successful career within industry, or an academic research position such as a PhD studentship.
