Our history
2006
CPT-1: British twins
The first set of craniopagus twins to be separated in the UK.
2007
Statistical Shape Models
David Dunaway and Owase Jeelani initiate first research study, Statistical Shape Models, comparing a group of children with Sagittal Synostosis and another with typically developing skulls and referencing the geometric differences between the two groups to aid surgical planning.
2008
Owase Jeelani invents a spring device to create space in the skull.
2011
CPT-2: Sudanese twins
Our second set of twins successfully separated at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
Face Value research programme is initiated on the back of the spring project, with a £1m investment.
Face Value research group is formed,led by David Dunaway and Owase Jeelaniand composed of clinicians, engineers, and computer scientists.
2012
Started using Principal Component Analysis to analyse facial shape and correction.
Pivotal leap from 2D to 3D planning,
which had never been used for cranial
facial applications before.
Collection of 12,000 faces established with the British Science Museum.
Forming the world's largest database of its kind to date, with the aim of building finite element methodology and statistical models from children's faces.
2013
CPT-A: Advised on a set of twins in Africa
2014
Commercialisation of GOSH spring device in partnership with KLS Martin.
2015
First publication of the LSFM (science journal).
CPT-B: Advised on a set of twins in Asia
Automated generation of multiple 3D models.
2016
Automatic 3D landmarking of CT scans.
First combined skeletal model and soft tissue model.
Created FE model able to predict the outcome of surgery to within 10%
of the outcome.
CPT-3: Pakistani twins
Our third set of twins successfully separated in GOSH.
2019
Owase Jeelani founds Gemini Untwined.
Machine learning diagnosis framework for auto diagnosis.
Incorporation of Klay Biotech Ltd.
