From Cells to Communities: Translational Research in Regenerative Medicine, Pregnancy and Environmental Health
We are a stimulating and vibrant research team dedicated to multidisciplinary, clinical science, providing an exciting environment focused on translational research in inflammatory disease, tissue repair and maternal health. Our vision is to develop novel therapeutics that reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and restore normal function. By integrating expertise from mathematics, engineering, environment and biology, we employ advanced human tissue models and data-driven approaches to investigate biomechanics, mechanobiology and the pro-inflammatory microenvironment associated with disease and tissue degeneration.

Our research spans several clinically important tissues, including the placenta and fetal membranes. Current projects include environmental and population health research investigating the effects of air pollution and environmental exposures on pregnancy outcomes and preterm birth. Through multidisciplinary approaches and close collaboration with clinicians, healthcare providers and industry partners, we aim to translate fundamental discoveries into innovative therapies, diagnostics and preventative strategies that improve patient outcomes and support healthy ageing.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between laboratory research and clinical practice by delivering transformative solutions that restore tissue function, improve maternal and neonatal health, and enhance quality of life.
