The Research Platform of Back-UP, developed by the Centre for Computational Imaging and Simulation Technologies in Biomedicine (CISTIB), has a new home since the start of the course 2018-2019, coinciding with the new phase of CISTIB in the University of Leeds, after seven highly productive years in the University of Sheffield.

Today the European Commission has officially confirmed this transfer of tasks in the Back-UP Project, from Sheffield to Leeds. The Back-UP Consortium welcomes the University of Leeds as their new member, and congratulates Dr. Alejandro Frangi, the Principal Investigator of CISTIB and new Diamond Jubilee Chair of Computational Medicine in Leeds for his new post, as well as all the members of CISTIB for their new research adventure!
