Biomaterials partner for Horizon Europe Cluster Health consortia: polymers, nanomaterials and nanocomposites

About

I am looking to join consortia that need materials expertise to turn biomedical ideas into working solutions. My group at Loughborough University designs and fabricates polymer-based nanomaterials for regenerative medicine, wound care and drug delivery, from concept and fabrication through to characterisation and in vitro testing. My expertise covers:

  • Nanofibrous scaffolds that support cell proliferation and cell encapsulation for tissue engineering

  • Advanced wound dressings incorporating antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and essential-oil-based bioactive agents

  • Stimuli-responsive fibres for controlled, on-demand drug release

  • Tailor-made nanocomposites with tunable surface and mechanical properties, including enhanced strength, controlled wettability and adjustable degradation rates

I can contribute to projects as a work package lead or technical partner, and I welcome contact from clinical, academic and industry partners (including SMEs and medical device companies) working on infection control, chronic wound management, tissue regeneration or targeted therapies.
