Research

Biopolymers, Stem cell control, Substrates

Underpinning Bioengineering, Cancer Models, Neuronal Models

Interests

We have developed technology that allows the discovery of novel substrates that control cellular behaviour/differentiation and phenotype. We have dozens of examples, such as polymers that maintain hepatocytes in their active hepatic form with functional drug metabolism - polymers that bind and maintain cancer stems cells in their stem cells state - materials that support active neurone development.
