Design and fabrication of a smart biomaterial device with artificial niches for aiding corneal healing
Corneal disease affects millions of people worldwide with higher prevalence in developing countries. Corneal transplantation and the use of membranes as cell carriers (amniotic membrane, AM) have been relatively successful. Read more
Bioengineering a full thickness cornea
Corneal blindness is the 4th leading cause of global blindness (WHO). Corneal scarring can be caused by trauma or infection and corneal replacement with donor corneas or synthetic (plastic) alternatives is currently the sole treatment to restore vision. Read more
Application of animal corneal cells for skin regeneration, tissue engineering and wound healing enhancement
Research Group:
Centre for Skin Sciences
Engineering of biological skin substitutes has progressed over the years from individual applications of skin cells, or biopolymer scaffolds, to combinations of cells and scaffolds for treatment, healing, and closure of acute and chronic skin wounds. Read more
Investigating the potentially blinding protozoan eye infection Acanthamoeba Keratitis
Acanthamoeba is a common environmental free-living amoeba which is characterised by a life cycle of a feeding and replicating trophozoite which in response to adversity, can transform into a highly resistant cyst stage. Read more
Synthesis and evaluation of new antimicrobials
With the prevalence of drug-resistant infection on the rise there is a real and urgent need to develop new antimicrobial agents active against a range of microbial pathogens (bacteria, fungi, protozoa). Read more
