Prof Alastair Sloan

Professor of Tissue Engineering & Bone Biology and Head of School

Research Interests

Dental pulp stem cells, Mineralised Tissue repair, Regenerative endodontics, 3D culture systems for dental infections, Nanovesicle drug delivery, 3D culture systems for bone repair and physiology

As a bioengineer interested in mineralised tissues and dental tissue repair, appropriate models are required. Having developed 3D organotypic culture systems for dental tissues I am interested in developing more reproducible systems to investigate dental pulp repair, modulation of dental (and bone) infection and characterisation of MSCs in 3D in vitro systems
