Dr Gubala and Dr Edwards work with the INTEREG network with the University of Rouen

 

Vladimir Gubala and Alison Edwards were involved in an INTEREG network with the University of Rouen (France) and a number of other universities and companies both in France and in the South East of England.  The network ran from 2012-2015 and led to a continued academic collaboration with Helene Castel (Rouen).  The school has a PhD studentship which work on this collaborative project (Voula Kasapidou, started October 2015). The student is working on responsive gel-like material to trap invasive glioma cells, which is a continuation of activities from the INTERREG project. During the INTEREG we had a postdoc researcher (Dr Matthew Freddi) who undertook several visits to Rouen to develop new skills and transfer knowledge between research groups regarding handling and use of the novel materials prepared.
