Research Interests

Blood-brain-barrier, Microfluidics, Acoustofluidics, Organoid, Biomaterial, Lab-on-a-chip

I am interested in understanding the mechanosensitivity of cells during the organogenesis of connective tissues, with a particular focus on the nervous system (both central and peripheral). I’m also interested in engineering Blood-Brain Barrier organoid models using microfluidics for applications in disease modelling and drug discovery.

I am happy for individuals outside my research group (particularly early career researchers) to present at one of my (online) group meetings – please contact me if you are interested.

I would like to present at group meetings organised by individual group leads – please contact me if you have an opportunity.
