- Additional information
- Presents fundamental research carried out in the Medical Microwave Research Group at Bangor demonstrating first use of Ku band (14.5GHz) for dermatology. Led to program of research involving postgraduates, culminating in a new treatment for skin cancer. This solution displaces photodynamic therapy (which normally requires multiple visits to clinics) thus simplifying the treatment procedure and reducing costs. Supported with funding of £250K given to the group by a long-term sufferer of skin cancer. Led to an initially focused treatment of Bowen’s disease. IP is protected by granted patents in Europe (EP3463139) and pending grant in USA, Australia, and Singapore.
