Biomaterials, Bone graft substitutes, 3D in vitro Bone models, Tissue Engineering, Orthobiologics and Regenerative Medicine, Bone
Interests
Development of 3D in vitro 'Tissue in a Tube' Models for screening of synthetic bone graft substitute safety and efficacy - to inform development of future biomaterial and orthobiologic innovations. The ultimate aim being to develop human ‘cohort specific’ models to innovate tailored interventions through understanding the role that the physico-chemical characteristics of scaffold structures or substrates play in modulating local environments and thus local cell responses and MSK tissue regeneration.Publications
