Tissue Science and Regenerative Medicine

Biography

I completed my masters research at the University of Texas at Arlington,USA, where I developed a microfluidic system to increase neuronal recordings. I completed my doctoral research at the University of Wollongong, Australia, with a thesis concerning the interaction between advanced biomaterials and novel biomedical engineering techniques, including 3D printing and electrical stimulation on neuronal, muscular and co-cultured cell types. I commenced my first postdoctoral research position at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. In the Katajisto Lab, I have had the opportunity to work in new areas of research such as stem cells, ageing, and with intestinal organoids. My primary project concerned the development of artificial intestinal scaffolds for the purpose of investigating the influence of intestinal tissue topology on stemness.
