TORC is delighted to be involved in the MI-COAT: Magnesium Implant Coatings study which has recently started at the Ulster University . The project has been funded by the EPSRC as a New Investigator Award for Dr Jonathan Acheson, lecturer in the School of Engineering at University of Ulster. This is a three year study researching the development of resorbable bone fixation devices coated with novel Calcium Phosphates to replace traditionally permanent metal implant devices. TORC trustees, Owen Diamond and Richard Napier attended the kick off meeting for the study along with charity director Janet Hill. We look forward to this new collaboration with UU!
