Research Interests
Current research projects, involving collaboration with a diverse range of academic and clinical collaborators, include:
- investigating the phenotypic changes in vascular cells that underlie cardiovascular disease
- the development of organ-on-a-chip models for chronic gynaecological conditions
- the development of new methods for monitoring mitochondrial dynamics in neuronal preparations
- the development of novel materials for antimicrobial applications.
