I recently completed my multidisciplinary PhD at The University of Nottingham based in The School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences. My PhD involved developing self-reporting scaffolds for non-invasive in situ monitoring in tissue engineering applications. To enhance the physiological relevance of the cellular microenvironment, the Quasi Vivo® perfusion system was used to improve nutrient and oxygen supply throughout the scaffolds. Moreover, the flow of media provides a physical stimulus in the form of shear stress absent in static cultures which can strongly influence how cells behave.

Since I love meeting new people and talking science, I aim to learn as much as I can about the research needs of scientists and provide tailored feedback to help them reach their experimental goals. I also aim to provide my scientific expertise and inform the research community of the numerous benefits of using the Quasi Vivo ®system perfusion system for their research which can provide highly quality and more reliable data.
