| Expertise: |
My main area of expertise is in musculoskeletal physiology and disease, with a focus on mechanobiology, disease pathology and biomechanics. My previous research has focussed on the importance of biophysical cues in embryonic skeletal development and in the progression of skeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis. In my current role at QMUL, I am contributing to the Screen research group interest of developing physiologically-relevant in vitro models of tendon and tendinopathy. This includes development of a human vascularised tendon-on-a-chip model, and elucidating mechanobiological and inflammatory disease pathways. |
