Advancing Personalised Medical Devices

Welcome to CLEX4MED, where cutting-edge technology meets compassionate care. Our mission is to integrate the latest advancements in XAI and bioprinting to develop personalised stent designs that lead to better patient outcomes.

Innovative Medical Technology Project

CLEX4MED is a revolutionary science initiative aimed at merging Hierarchical XAI and bioprinting into a platform led by clinicians. Our goal is to design personalised stents to enhance patient care and treatment outcomes.

Our groundbreaking project, currently in full application for the UKRI Cross Research Council Responsive Mode Round 2, is focused on creating a co-created platform for stent design that prioritises patient needs and medical efficacy.
