IMPACT

Impact is the tangible change that research provides be it in policy, business, industry or society.

At the Centre all of our projects are either working toward tangible impact or have demonstrated key changes in one of the above areas.

From projects seeking to enhance the museum experience for blind and partially sighted visitors, to those that have significantly improved the speed at which critical seismological data can be analysed and delivered, the collaborative research carried out at the Centre has far-reaching impact beyond its home in academia.

The impact stories featured below are just some of the ways in which the innovative technology developed at the Centre has significant effect on the world around us.

"Taxonomy3 is a promising tool to help us understand complex disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, and derive innovative drug targets with direct genetic support."
