New approach using virtual clinical trials could revolutionize drug development
New cutting-edge research undertaken at the University of Leicester could revolutionize the way new drugs are developed and the way patients are cared for, through a pioneering new approach using virtual clinical trials.
Following a £500,000 Royal Academy of Engineering research funding award, Dr Himanshu Kaul, will expand research with his virtual asthma patient to participate in virtual clinical trials, which could help make more accurate and timely predictions around which new drugs are successful and can offer benefits to patients.
Virtual clinical trials could also help doctors gain a better understanding of individual patients disease progression, allowing them to tailor therapies to patients individual needs and improve outcomes in a wider range of cases.

University of Southampton awarded ‘Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research and Education’
The University of Southampton has become one of the first organisations in the country to be awarded a unique ‘double’ as Centre of Excellence for Cyber Security Research and Education.
The university received a Gold Award for Education, which has been given by the National Cyber Security Centre (part of GCHQ). The given position belongs to a general UK government strategy determined to protect and promote the UK in a digital world. Through the command of Professor Vladimiro Sassone, the university has increased its expertise by launching a Cyber Security Academy, and a dedicated Research Group as a centre for world-leading education and research.
