Interests
I use manufacturing techniques to recapitulate complex tissue environments within human organ-on-a-chip models. The spatial arrangement of human tissue varies both within and across tissues and is critical to maintaining normal function. To ensure that organ-chip models can capture the intricate variation in tissue architecture, I utilise novel approaches to incorporate spatial heterogeneity and cross-tissue interfaces into these models for enhanced physiological relevance and greater predictive power.Publications
