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

Survival of the fattest: adaptions in the birds of the High Arctic

Biomechanical and behavioral techniques are widely used to examine how selection shapes an organism’s phenotype. However, such examinations are far from straight forward, as selection rarely acts on phenotypic traits in isolation. Read more

How do plants reduce leaf growth at low humidity

  Research Group: Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil
Short spells of hot dry air can cause fast desiccation of crop land, devastating crop yields. These ‘flash droughts’ are becoming more prevalent as the climate crisis worsens. Read more

Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases

Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more
