Closed-loop model predictive control for hypercapnic respiratory failure patients

  Research Group: Lungs and Respiratory System
Currently, due to a struggling healthcare system, patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure are only seen by clinicians once an hour, meaning their oxygen control is suboptimal. Read more

Development of a bioink to enable bioprinting of stromal tissue mimics

Human tissues are complex architectures made up of a combination of cells spatially organised within distinct matrices. Cells make and maintain this matrix, through which they receive biochemical, mechanical, and topological stimuli that are crucial to establish and maintain tissue function. Read more
