Kirkstall recently caught up with Professor Jamie Davies to discuss his recently published paper which used Quasi Vivo®.

The paper was entitled ‘Symmetry-breaking in branching epithelia: cells on micro-patterns under flow challenge the hypothesis of positive feedback by a secreted autocrine inhibitor of motility’.

Jamie is a Professor of Experimental Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh and focuses his research on:

• The developmental biology of organs
• Developing methods for engineering mini organs in vitro
• Using synthetic biological techniques to make self-organising patterns and forms
• Running IUPHAR’s main database on drugs and targets.
