About me
Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield
Bachelor of Engineering Queen Mary University of London
My research focusses on the development of biomaterials primarily for wound healing applications. At a fundamental level I am interested in the interactions between cells and material surfaces. These interactions include cell attachment, cell detachment, cell migration and the development of materials to encourage specific responses. For wound healing; reepithelialisation and angiogenesis, and for immunotherapies; T cell activation. I also use and develop 3-dimensional human skin models to evaluate the cytotoxicity of materials as well as the ability of the novel materials to influence wound healing.
