BIOmaterials for Modelling, Engineering and Novel Discovery
We "mend" the human body with biomaterials, from building advanced biomaterial-based tissue models, to developing novel therapies for complex diseases, and uncovering new frontiers in biomaterial-cell interactions to modulate pathology evolution and ageing at molecular and genetic levels.
Understanding how biomaterials interact with cells and tissues at a biological level to cure disease or prevent aging.
Developing targeted nanotechnology therapies for metastatic cancers, including ovarian cancer.
Creating smart biomaterials to promote cartilage regeneration and treat osteoarthritis.
Developing advanced nanotechnology-based therapies for diabetic foot ulcers and chronic wound healing.
Building human-relevant 3D skin models to study fibrosis, ageing, and chronic skin pathologies.
