By car
If arriving by car, leave M1 at Junction 23 (not 23A) and head into Loughborough. Click for a local area map. The road becomes a dual carriageway. At the first roundabout take a right turn (towards the centrica/ campus) and then a left at the next roundabout into campus. There is a security gate there where you will be issued with a pass. Continue straight on, under a bridge and you will find yourself passing an orange building. Parking is at a premium in the car park behind this building; so at the end of the orange building turn right, following the road, up a steep hill. At the top of the hill the road takes you left - immediately on your right is a large car park. Retrace your route back down the hill and enter the orange building. There is a main entrance - glass atrium/ stairway about half way along the Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering block. On the first floor you will find the reception area.

e-medic seeks to explore the technological and business potential of integrating advanced electronics and information technologies with improved drug formulations into non-invasive drug delivery devices, and their exploitation to maximum benefit in healthcare. A platform device is researched based upon a pulmonary delivery system that is flexible, programmable, and potentially will provide remote patient monitoring through a distributed healthcare information system.

This project focuses on the development of a lead-free joining technology using metal droplets. Technological developments must not overlook environmental health and safety concerns. Traditional joining methods have often used solders of Pb-Sn composition, which are now intended to be phased out. Thus, novel processing methods must be sought to overcome this problem and provide a cleaner more effective solution.
