Personal profile
Personal Statement
My research focuses on exploiting microsystems engineering approaches (lab-on-a-chip, microfluidics, materials engineering) to create new in vitro models for investigating and controlling cell behaviours. Applications of this work include the development of tools for drug screening and for tissue engineering. My background is highly interdisciplinary, spanning the engineering-life science interface, with expertise in a wide range of cell biology, microfabrication, live-cell imaging and analytical technologies.
Research Interests
Current research projects, involving collaboration with a diverse range of academic and clinical collaborators, include:
- investigating the phenotypic changes in vascular cells that underlie cardiovascular disease
- the development of organ-on-a-chip models for chronic gynaecological conditions
- the development of new methods for monitoring mitochondrial dynamics in neuronal preparations
- the development of novel materials for antimicrobial applications.
Teaching Interests
I have taught on both the BEng/MEng and MSc courses in Biomedical Engineering and I am currently module coordinator for BE105 (Cell Biology 1) and co-lead on the creation and implementation of new UG teaching laboratory classes.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
