Image-guided skin microbiopsy technology development. There is a need for targeted biopsies in dermatology. This novel technology enables minimally invasive biopsies to be taken from suspicious skin lesions by integrating micromedical and imaging devices.
Investigating a novel, physical adjuvant for improving immune responses of vaccines. This project will explore a new way to significantly improve vaccine immune responses: with practical devices that apply pressure on the skin - for the body to create its own, localised adjuvant. This is novel - completely different to today's adjuvants, which are chemicals put into our bodies.
