Electrifying Cells! Exploring the role of bioelectronic stimulation and bioelectric signalling, with a focus on influencing stem cell behaviour
Electrical stimulation of cells and tissues has been observed to help with healing processes, for example in bone regeneration. Within the NHS, some fracture clinics use electrical stimulation as a to promote healing, often when other methods fail. Read more
Invasive Lung Ventilation empowered by Soft Robotic Implantable Actuators [ILV-robot]
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
Lung diaphragm is an integral part of respiratory system, which plays a pivotal role in the initiating and maintaining breathing cycle. Read more
Towards robotic 2D-IR spectroscopy for biomolecular fingerprinting of cancer
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
Ultrafast 2D-IR spectroscopy is a new variant of Infrared spectroscopy which offers a unique analytical method for characterizing complex biomolecular samples. Read more
Increasing the commercial prospects of holographic microscopy using physics from carnivorous plants
Research Group:
Condensed matter and materials physics
Our labs specialise in developing sensors and analytical technologies for biological and medical applications. One particular area of interest is the observation of swimming bacteria, and what their behaviour tells us about the process of infection. Read more
Revolutionising genome editing using a novel tuneable microfluidics technology
Mechanical cell deformation generates transient perturbations in the cell's membrane enabling a safe and economical cargo delivery for drug discoveries. Read more
Multi-omic analysis of human blood cancer stem cells to develop new predictive tools, and develop novel culture systems
Cancer is swiftly becoming one of the leading cause of death in western populations, and it is estimated that 1in2 people born in the U.K. Read more
Development of a robotic device for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Up to 25% of patients who undergo Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery report unsatisfactory functional outcomes (Lord et al., 2019). Read more
Design for functionally graded 3D printing
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
This project will investigate methods to design and develop functionally graded parts through 3D printed plastics. The primary focus will be on orthopaedic medical devices used to replace bone where current parts often fail due to stress discontinuities between implants and bone. Read more
Clinical assessment and prediction of outcome post shoulder joint replacement using a smart device
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
More than 8000 shoulder replacements are performed annually in the UK alone, with numbers continuing to grow. Read more
Controlling plasma chemistry of cold atmospheric-pressure air plasmas
Research Group:
Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Plasma technologies already form a key part of many of today’s multi-billion pound industries such as the nanoscale fabrication of microprocessors, production of solar cells and the deposition of advanced functional coatings. Read more
