Current Research Projects
We focus on materials discovery and biofabrication with a particular interest in advancing next generation microphysiological systems (MPS), assembloids and organoids for tissue engineering and disease modelling.
Organoids
Joints
- Inflammatory cartilage spheroid models for study of Osteoarthritis disease progression
- Cartilage-Synovial Fluid model for screening of injectable therapies
- Performance organoids for study of mechanical loading on cartilage health and disease
- Hormonally tunable cartilage spheroids for study of joint regeneration
Hematological
- Biofabricated Bone Marrow models for study of stem cell therapeutics for blood cancers
Neural
- Neural tract Glioblastoma models for study of brain cancer invasion
Implantable biomaterials
- Hydrogel spheroids for Integrative cartilage repair
- Oxygen controlling hydrogels for enhanced stem cell survival
- 3D-bioassembly of clinically relevant orthopaedic replacement grafts
Bioinks
- Hydrogels for volumetric additive manufacturing
- Machine learning processes for Enhancing shape fidelity of volumetric additive manufacturing
