My technology could help patients heal faster, move more freely and avoid the side effects of conventional treatments. It\u2019s a step towards a more sustainable, personalised future for healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breakthrough could also slash NHS costs and carbon emissions by replacing thousands of battery-driven implants with clean, movement-powered alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bradford will now host a new research hub dedicated to piezoelectricity, putting the city firmly on the global map for next-generation medical innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Anant Paradkar, Director of the University\u2019s Institute of Health and Social Care, hailed it as \u201ca paradigm shift\u201d. He said: \u201cPiezoelectric biomaterials can stimulate healing, power implants and interact with the body in ways we\u2019ve only imagined. This fellowship places Bradford at the very forefront of regenerative medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project brings together collaborators from the Universities of Leeds and Cambridge, UC San Diego and medical manufacturer Summit Medical Ltd, alongside a team of PhD students and research fellows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Sasikala, recognised as a STEM ambassador and public science communicator, already has an impressive track record. Her previous work includes self-powered stents and nanoparticles designed to target the brain. Winning one of the country\u2019s most competitive research fellowships cements her reputation as one of the UK\u2019s brightest young innovators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Sherif El-Khamisy, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at Bradford, called it \u201ca landmark achievement\u201d, adding: \u201cThis is world-class science that will directly improve lives, support the NHS and inspire the next generation of women in healthcare and engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Sasikala is one of 77 researchers nationwide sharing \u00a3120 million through the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships programme, which supports bold ideas tackling some of society\u2019s toughest challenges \u2013 from Alzheimer\u2019s to cancer and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frances Burstow, UKRI\u2019s Director of Talent and Skills, said the awards provide the long-term backing needed to \u201cbridge the gap between discovery and real-world impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UKRI chief executive Professor Sir Ian Chapman added: \u201cThese fellowships drive excellence and accelerate the journey from laboratory breakthroughs to public benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Bradford academic has been awarded a staggering \u00a32.2 million to develop groundbreaking \u201cbatteryless\u201d implants that could heal broken bones and even power pacemakers using nothing more than the body\u2019s natural movement.
