Bioengineering PDRA Seminar by Ziyu Gao and Brenda García

Date:	Tuesday 2 May 2023 12:00 - 12:30
Location:	SEMS Seminar Room & MS Team

Ziyu Gao's project is about developing a method for real‑time mechanical characterisation of microcapsules . Characterising the mechanical properties of flowing microcapsules is important from both fundamental and applied points of view. Gao's work is to develop a novel multilayer perceptron (MLP)-based machine learning (ML) approach, for real-time simultaneous predictions of the membrane mechanical law type, shear, and area-dilatation moduli of microcapsules, from their camera-recorded steady profiles in tube flow.

Keywords: Microcapsules, Real-time characterisation, Multilayer perceptron, Machine learning

Brenda García's project is to develop an in vitro model: organ on a chip, that incorporates active cells to permit a meticulous in vitro study of human physiology and pathophysiology. This will recreate the functions of a native human organ, reconstructing the architecture to model the physiochemical cues of healthy and pathological tendon behaviour, to explore tendinopathy within the model applying mechanisms through tendon injury.

Keywords: Organ-on-a-chip, Tendon, Tendinopathy, In vitro model, Cell culture

This seminar will be chaired by Dr. Simon Grossemy.
