Innovation at the intersection of technology & medicine
Adrian Cowell · Innovation Lead
I lead innovation for Imperial London’s Faculty of Medicine — a compact function that punches above its weight by working closely with colleagues, students, clinicians, and external partners. Whether it’s a VR simulation, an AI tool, or a new digital workflow, I bring in the right people and skills for each project.
If you have an idea worth exploring, I’m the starting point.
