- This work, for the first time, proposed a route towards viable therapeutic capsule endoscopy, based on multiple capsules with ultrasound imaging and drug delivery components. It was supported by EPSRC (Sonopill, EP/K034537/1) and BBSRC (BB/M017079/1 and Case-Studentship 1810028) in collaboration with 17 international companies (https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/sonopill/partners/). The work featured on the cover of the journal Sensors, and was reported by multiple media, including The Times (https://tinyurl.com/y5lpu7ev) and Eureka! magazine (https://tinyurl.com/y3xqrsuj). The research team was invited to present the work at the EPSRC Science for a Successful Nation showcase 2018, MRS Meet the Researcher 2017 and 2018, and SET for Britain 2016.
