We explore new technologies and treatments to promote the repair and regeneration of bones and cartilage. 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 research cuts across the boundaries of the biological, medical and physical sciences.

About

After injury, or as a result of disease or old age, our bones and joints may not heal properly. 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 aim is to provide better treatments to promote the regeneration of the tissues that make up our skeletons so we can remain active and pain free throughout our lives. 

We are primarily biologists, but our expertise ranges across the boundaries of different fields of research, including engineering, physics, chemistry and mathematics. To achieve our aims, we collaborate closely with other teams with complimentary expertise at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 and beyond. 

天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 main research areas include: 

  • skeletal stem cell biology
  • biomaterials science, including nanoclays and polymer scaffolds 
  • drug delivery
  • bone and cartilage physiology, ‘organotypic’ and preclinical translational models of disease

天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 research is inherently translational, and we have close connections with partners outside the academic world, including with companies such as Renovos and GE Healthcare and with the Defence Science and Technology laboratories and University Hospital 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载.
