Development of next-generation Bio-Printing
Borut Lampret - 1st year PhD
3D Printing has enabled the creation of complex geometric structures previously unavailable to design engineers and scientists. However, this vast new pallet of object geometries has... more

Engineering novel cell mimetic membrane architectures
Qien Li - MRes
Cell mimicry - the ability to imitate the physical architecture, function and behaviour of cells - is proving to be an increasingly useful conceptual framework in (i) furthering our... more

Controlling nanopore loading in Droplet Interface Bilayers
Daisy Rogers-Simmonds - MRes
Protein Nanopore sensing has significant potential as a next-generation sequencing methodology. In particular, our recent work has highlighted the potential for optical imaging to... more

Exploiting asymmetry to generate new classes of biomaterials and artificial cells
Shaobin Zhang - 1st year PhD
Biological membranes are almost universally asymmetric: there is a compositional difference in the molecules present in the inner and outer leaflets. Asymmetry is believed to play... more

Engineering biointerfaces between synthetic and biological cells
Greta Zubaite - 1st year PhD
The central tenant of cellular bionics is that cell functions can be augmented both by introducing non-biological components to cells, and by interfacing them with artificial soft-... more

3D Printing of Complex Neural Structures in synthetic biology derived scaffolds
Emmanuel Kanelos - 1st year PhD
Hydrogels allow us to produce 3 dimensional (3D) cellular constructs, however, traditional 3D cell culture produces a relatively homogenous system where we have little control over... more
