So the reviews the lab worked hard on in 2020 are hitting the press! Well done Ross Burdis whose review: ‘Biofabrication and bioprinting using cellular aggregates, microtissues and organoids for the engineering of musculoskeletal tissues’ is out Acta Biomaterialia authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S17…

Delighted to have been awarded an European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant I have had the privilege of ERC support throughout my academic career - with past starter, consolidator and PoC grants. These have been integral to my research and the development of students & researchers in our lab

New lab paper led by 王彬 out now in Acta Biomaterialia Affinity-bound growth factor within sulfated interpenetrating network bioinks for bioprinting cartilaginous tissues doi.org/10.1016/j.actb… This is the latest paper from our European Research Council (ERC) funded project JointPrinting

Delighted to see my first paper from my @MSCActions fellowship #PrintChemo published in @AdvSciNews. Here, we developed a novel spheroid model for osteosarcoma, to understand the divergent relationship between tumour elimination and bone regeneration! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Delighted to have this work published in BF if you're interested in how the self-organisation of bioprinted MSCs can be guided towards a stratified articular cartilage, you're in the right place!

New lab paper led by 王彬 just out in BF ‘Additive manufacturing of cartilage-mimetic scaffolds as off-the-shelf implants for joint regeneration’ doi.org/10.1088/1758-5… This is the latest paper from our European Research Council (ERC) funded project ‘JointPrinting’

Congrats Dave Browe and Danny Kelly on pinning this one down 🥁🥁💥Very happy to have been a part of this project, in particular helping with the design & fabrication of the 3DP fixation device.

New paper led by Kian Eichholz out in BF ‘Scaffold microarchitecture regulates angiogenesis and the regeneration of large bone defects’ doi.org/10.1088/1758-5… Study from our AMBER bioprinting project co-funded by @scienceirel + Johnson & Johnson w David Hoey

Excited to share the most recent study from my PhD! Seeing this published in Biomaterials is massively rewarding - a huge thanks to Danny Kelly and all the co-authors for their contribution. Stay tuned for more on cartilage microtissues in the not too distant future 👀

A new startup offers technology to accelerate the development and production of nanoparticles used in advanced #medicines #InventedAtImperial Nanoparticles can help treat #cancer and #diseases by carrying medicines to exact locations in the body ➡️ loom.ly/8q8Wm-w

Great to see all partners from 10 Universities #UKRMP Smart Materials Hub at the University of Nottingham Smart Materials Hub 4th Annual Meeting, #Regenerative Medicine, Medical Research Council, #Advanced Therapeutics

✨Geometry is everywhere!✨ Turns out cells like #curvature almost as much as I do! I'm happy to finally be able to share our work on combining 3D printing, imaging, and some math to study geometry-guided cell patterning in complex curved landscapes. nature.com/articles/s4146…

New lab paper led by Ian Whelan out now in BF ‘A microphysiological model of bone development and regeneration’ doi.org/10.1088/1758-5… This is our first foray into the tissue/organ-on-chip field. A collaborative project with David Hoey funded by CÚRAM

Monday reading! Mechanical stimulation may not be necessary to engineer functional articular cartilage grafts with human mesenchymal stem cells if other culture conditions are optimized. Give it a read! #biomechanics #journalofbiomechanics doi.org/10.1016/j.jbio…

We are looking to recruit 2 PhD students to work on our new @scienceirel funded project exploring the engineering of functional musculoskeletal tissues by guiding the fusion, differentiation and (re)modelling of stem/progenitor cell derived cartilage spheroids. Details below:

I am very happy to share my most recent publication where we tackle a key challenge in microtissue engineering. To find out more, read below 👇🏼

New lab paper led by Kian Eichholz just out in Advanced Healthcare Materials: ‘Integrating melt electrowriting and fused deposition modelling to fabricate hybrid scaffolds supportive of accelerated bone regeneration’ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Please share. I have a fully funded 3-year PhD studentship in my new lab Chemistry_QMUL focussing on generating polymer-based artificial cells. They have importance in therapy, biotechnology, and producing approximations to understand biological phenomena qmul.ac.uk/spcs/chemistry…
