We utilise advanced techniques to develop medical solutions. Our research spans three key themes: modelling & simulation, biomaterials & biofabrication and medical devices & translation.

Cerebrovascular Retina Coronary In-utero Biomechanics

We use experimental and computational modelling to assess structures throughout the body. This work encompasses analyses of both health and disease, specifically, placental function, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, several forms of aortic disease, and disease that impact the heart itself. We are also merging our biomechanics expertise with novel research into artificial intelligence to streamline these processes.

Biomaterials Heart Valves Tendons & Ligaments

We are working on tissue regeneration using hybrid technologies based on advanced manufacturing and 3D bioprinting techniques. Different strategies are being developed to create patient-specific implantable devices, embedding cells directly within novel biomaterials.

Aneurysm Aortic Dissection Endovascular Aortic Repair

Through the application of computational biomechanics simulations, we quantify patient-specific risk factors to help inform different surgical techniques. We are also developing novel biomaterials for minimally-invasive repair of blood vessels and biomimetic stents to reduce rates of device complication.
