Meeting the future training needs of the wireless and antenna industry

Telecommunications and digital technologies are a key area of growth for the UK, and one of the eight priority sectors in the UK Industrial Strategy. But the industry faces a critical shortage of research technicians and engineers, critical for maintaining our leading role in this strategically important field.

MUSCAT is a cutting-edge hub based in our Antenna Lab which provides world-class training and research facilities for academics and industry professionals working in microwave and antenna technologies. It partners with companies to address their real-world training needs in antenna and wireless research and development.

 

Helping people with Parkinson’s

Queen Mary is striving to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s, the fastest growing neurodegenerative condition worldwide which affects over 10 million people.

Through a knowledge transfer partnership with Charo Neurotech, the University is further developing and testing the company’s CUE1 device. The discreet, wearable device delivers individualised peripheral nerve stimulation to people with Parkinson’s to help alleviate motor symptoms such as slowness, stiffness and freezing while walking. 

Researchers at Queen Mary are helping test the CUE1’s feasibility to treat a much wider range of Parkinson’s patients. This includes assessing its tolerability, determining the best settings and positioning for it, and designing a clinical trial to test outcomes.
