Biography

Angela is a Research Fellow in Orthopaedic Regenerative Medicine within Dixon's lab at the School of Pharmacy.

She has obtained a PhD in Regenerative Medicine at the University of Manchester, where her works focused on improving the outcomes of tendon repair by using a dual approach: a bilayer biomembrane for prevention of post-operative tendon adhesions and a minimally invasive barbed device for tendon repair. She has also worked at the University of Birmingham on the development of a 3D regenerative cartilage model for high throughput screening of drugs, using an immobilised Wnt platform in combination with a hydrogel.

She has now joined Dixon's lab to work on gene delivery approaches for bone regeneration

Her interests involve tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches for orthopaedics. Angela's research focuses on the use on hydrogels as carries for cells/gene therapies to improve tissue regeneration.
