Dental centre benefits from research award - 13th July 2009
King's is to get a £10 million Wellcome Trust/Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council Medical Engineering Centre (MEC) award. This funding is to run for a period of five years with the Dental Institute being a significant contributor and beneficiary (£1 million) of the research programme in the Centre, led by Professor Rezza Razavi and the imaging sciences division within the college. This new initiative called ‘Rebuilding Faces', led by Professor Timothy Watson, director of research and head of the Biomaterials, Biomimetics & Biophotonics (B3) Research Group at the Dental Institute, addresses the fundamental concepts that underlie the biology, engineering and manufacture of tissues concerning the human face. The effect of abnormal growths (neoplasia) and trauma and their clinical management, often leads to profound tissue loss in the head and neck, devastating both the patient and their family. At the Dental Institute, 480 new cases a year are managed, with an increase in new cases of 10% p.a. The King's College London-based head and neck cancer unit has five year survival rates of 78% for squamous carcinomas (a form of skin cancer) compared with a UK and US national five-year survival rate of 55%. The Dental Institute therefore has a growing population of survivors in need of facial reconstruction to restore their quality of life. Professor Watson said: ‘This funding will underpin tissue engineering and imaging development in the Biomaterials, Biomimetics & Biophotonics (B3) Research Group and will undoubtedly enable us to attract further grant income.' The Rebuilding Faces project is part of the Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Biomedical Research Centre's drive to translate basic laboratory research into clinical practice.
