About
I gained my PhD in Bone Biomaterial Interactions in 2001 and then developed a successful research career as a PDRA working with a number of research groups around the world developing my reputation as expert in the field of material induced cell responses. I was appointed as a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering in June 2013 and have been successful at establishing a research group that focuses on designing novel materials for tissue engineering applications. During my time at the School of Engineering I have been responsible for designing and developing a suite of purpose built laboratories and imaging facilities to support this novel research area. In addition I have been successful at ascertaining a number of externally and internally funded grants (UK and international) that have allowed me to develop my multi-disciplinary research group.
I have published a number of high impact seminal research papers and hold a number of international patents.
