As concerns over counterfeit weight-loss jabs and other fake medication grows, researchers in the University of Brighton have created a new device designed to make drug verification faster, more reliable and affordable – with the potential to safeguard people across the globe.
The FakeMedSensor – a hand-held electrochemical sensor device – has been created by researchers in the School of Applied Sciences to verify the authenticity of medicines quickly, accurately and affordably. Designed for use across the supply chain, it offers a fast, portable solution for healthcare workers, manufacturers, and even patients.
As high-demand weight-loss and diabetes drugs, like Ozempic, surge in popularity, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has reported the seizure of 869 counterfeit pens in the UK already. Combined with increasingly complex global supply chains, this highlights the urgent need for medicine authentication tools – a challenge researchers at Brighton are now tackling head-on.

Brighton ranks 34th on Time Out’s 2025 list of the world’s 50 best cities, making it the third-highest ranked city in the UK.
The definitive annual list is published every year, based on feedback from tens of thousands of city-dwellers across the globe. This year, over 18,000 participants shared their thoughts on key aspects of city life such as food, nightlife, culture, affordability, happiness, and overall atmosphere.
Claiming the 34th spot globally, Brighton secured its place among the globe’s go-to destinations as the third highest-ranked UK city, behind only London and Edinburgh, and one of just six UK cities to make it into the top 50.
Time Out highlights the city for its unique blend of metropolitan features and welcoming, laid-back beach attitude, stating:
“Brighton has essentially plucked all the important parts of a sprawling cosmopolitan metropolis (connections to London in under an hour, an array of properly excellent restaurants, energetic late-night spots) and paired it with the easy-breezy beachy attitude to life that makes you feel welcome in an instant.”
Brighton stood out as the second-most walkable of all cities surveyed, and Brighton locals were the third-most likely to call the city ‘diverse and inclusive’, with 64% of residents saying it’s a lively place to be.
The beach was praised for its ‘standout restaurants’, ‘buzzy bars’ and ‘new active venues’, meanwhile the food scene was lauded as being one ‘where diners can also enjoy DJs, dancefloors and cocktails, all in one place.’
The city’s beloved North Laine was also praised for its ‘hippy-esque beating heart’ and ‘city-wide passion for sustainability, emphasised through everything from vegetarian eateries such as Iydea to homeware shops like Dowse.’
The University of Brighton is proud to call this dynamic city home, sharing its values of community engagement, creativity, and sustainability. As Brighton continues to flourish, it remains a hub for students and residents to engage with a rich array of cultural and social opportunities.
Other UK cities on the list include London in fifth place, Edinburgh at 13th, Glasgow in 36th, Belfast in 47th, and Bristol in 48th.
