The 2D Health PDRAs visited the manufacturing facility of the Theme I Industrial Partners, Smith & Nephew, on 14th February. They toured the Minster and Montana sites of Smith & Nephew in Hull, where technical experts demonstrated how the commercial wound dressings are fabricated by using magnetron sputter coater and…
A group of scientists at the University of Manchester made the front cover of Nature Nanotechnology by presenting a strategy that could potentially sieve common salt out of water rendering it safe to drink. This could have a major impact on access to clean drinking water for many globally. Graphene-oxide…
In work recently published in Nature Nanotechnology, a group of scientists from the Universities of Manchester and Pisa demonstrated a simple way of engineering water-based 2D material inks. Using the new strategy, multi-stack fabrication was also achievable enabling the demonstration of all-inkjet-print heterostructure-based devices. The examples provided were arrays of photosensors printed…
2D-Health held it’s Kick-off and Management Board meeting at Chancellors Hotel in Manchester over the 24th and 25th April 2017. The meeting gave everyone a chance to meet the industrial partners as well as the new recruits and to catch up on Theme research. Over the two days, each theme leader provided…

We hope you find this new site useful. As well as providing information about the project and those involved, we will post news and information about upcoming events. We plan to develop it further in the coming months.
After receiving the EPSRC award, the 2D-Health programme has begun (October 2016). We have recently held Theme meetings and are now planning our main Kick Off meeting, where industrial champions, academic leaders and post-doctoral researchers will come together to share their plans. The academic leaders are in the middle of…
Jo Johnson MP, Universities and Science Minister, made an announcement on behalf of the EPSRC regarding research programme grants for new Healthcare Technologies. 2D-Health was one of the four research programmes to receive a grant. Four major research programme grants, totalling £17.7 million,that will develop new technologies to address the health…
The University of Manchester has announced the EPSRC award for this project. The University of Manchester has been awarded more than £5m for research into using nanomaterials including graphene in the human body. The £5.2m grant was provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for the project…
