Study In UK: King Visits Imperial’s Centre For Injury Studies

The king visited the Imperial College London where he was joined by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

To highlight the UK's support to Ukraine's injured service personnel, and also to see the link between the Imperial's research and humanitarian efforts, King visited Imperial’s Centre for Injury Studies.

The Centre brings together different disciplines and it is Imperial's convergence science vehicle for teams of scientists, engineers and clinicians. They work together to find new ways to prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate patients after they get traumatic injuries.

The king visited Imperial to see how the injured in the Ukraine's war were being supported.

Professor Hugh Brady, President of Imperial College London, said, “His Majesty’s visit to the Centre for Injury Studies at our White City Campus underscores the critical work underway at Imperial to tackle one of today’s most urgent medical challenges. Our pioneering research into traumatic injuries, advanced prosthetics and trauma care is transforming outcomes for military personnel and civilians in conflict zones. This is a powerful example of how science and collaboration can change lives, and we are proud to be leading such transformative work.”

Professor Anthony Bull said, “Collaboration is part of Imperial’s DNA; the partnership between the Centre for Injury Studies and colleagues in the NHS, defence and humanitarian organisations is an exemplar of how we are making a difference through our research. We are grateful and honoured to have been able to welcome His Majesty to meet with our researchers and partners.”

Google, Imperial Collaboration To Support Researchers

A collaboration between Google and Imperial gave researchers access to new artificial intelligence.

Professor Mary Ryan, Vice Provost (Research and Enterprise) and Imperial Global USA Academic Theme Lead for Advanced Materials and Cleantech, at Imperial College London, said, "The world is facing multiple complex challenges – from pandemics to environmental sustainability and food security. To address these urgent needs means accelerating traditional R&D processes and Artificial Intelligence will increasingly support scientific discovery and pioneering developments. Our scientists are among the most talented in the world, with the curiosity and lateral thinking needed to exploit AI technologies for societal good. Starting with new avenues for biomedical research and sowing the seeds for greater scientific efficiency - the prospects could be game-changing."

“Last year, Imperial became the first UK university to have a permanent science and tech base in the US, launching a hub in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are proud of our long legacy of transatlantic collaboration, creating and nurturing the kind of partnerships with industry partners that lead to world-changing scientific discoveries," added Professor Mary Ryan.
