Dr Marco Pensalfini
Lecturer in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering
School of Engineering and Materials Science
Queen Mary University of London
Queen Mary University of London
Research
Bioengineering, Wound Healing, Multiscale Biomechanics, Computational Modeling, Biomaterials, Bioinspired Design
Interests
Computational modeling of spatial patterning in biological systems to rationalize the contribution of microstructural constituents towards cell- and tissue-scale load bearing.Recent work focused on simulations of new tissue formation and remodeling in wound healing, as well as self-organization in cytoskeletal systems such as F-actin and intermediate filament networks.
