Alisha Aman is the academic lead for the MSc in MedTech Innovation at the University of Glasgow, a multidisciplinary initiative designed in partnership with the NHS West of Scotland Innovation Hub. Her work is focused on using education to bridge the gap between academic research and clinical reality by leveraging the Scottish ‘triple helix’ model. She spearheads strategic collaborations with SMEs and key stakeholders, including the NHS, the National Robotarium and the West of Scotland Safe Haven, to co-deliver industry-aligned education within the University. Alisha had previously led the curriculum design for the MSc in Clinical Trials in partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and IQVIA.
Her academic practice focuses on the intersection of healthcare education and emerging technologies, particularly the practical and ethical integration of Generative AI (GenAI) to enhance both student learning and healthcare research outcomes. She also designs and advocates for inherently accessible Higher Education initiatives that maintain a rigorous employability focus.
