Research Ethics and Integrity at the School of Engineering
School Requirement
The School requires that all research carried out by its members is of the highest scientific and ethical standards, and follows the University's guidelines:
The Guardian's Smallword Nanotech reports on interdisciplinary research carried out between the University of Edinburgh's School of Engineering, School of Chemistry and private firm Nanoflex Ltd.
SACSESS kicked off on 1 March 2013. This European collaborative project involves 26 partners from European universities, nuclear research bodies, TSOs and industrial stakeholders and aims to generate fundamental safety improvements on the future design of an Advanced Processing Unit.
Nucleic hybridisation is core to many biological processes and protocols used in molecular biology such as nucleic acid amplification, e.g. by PCR. This project aims to radically simplify nucleic acid amplification by driving the reaction via means of electrochemistry. To fulfil this aim, specialised expertise in biosensors, physical chemistry, biophysics and microsystems engineering is brought together.
