MSc by Research in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering

Within the Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Research Group we aim to target the repair, regeneration or replacement of skeletal tissues. The group's interests lie primarily, but not exclusively, in bone, cartilage, teeth and complex tissue. Research strands within the group encompass: biomaterial development and characterisation (both traditional dental materials and also scaffoldsconstructs for tissue engineering), interactions between biomaterials and cells in vitro and in vivo using a range of animal models, comparison of different stem cell populations and the way they respond to environmental triggers such as cytokines and mechanical stimuli molecular mechanisms of ageing non-viral gene therapy for osteochondral tissue engineering.
