• Kareem Mohamed’s placement is with Adam Dundas and Francesco Pappalardo on the Biomaterials Discovery grant. Kareem has been looking at novel functionalised polymer biomaterial microspheres via fluid based methodologies.
• Sumana Shrestha’s placement is with Mahetab Amer and Marta Alvarez-Paino on the Biomaterials Discovery grant. Sumana has been investigating the impact of microparticle design on cell attachment and proliferation for regenerative medicine applications.
• Kayleigh Coates’s placement is with Alvin Teo on the Wellcome Trust project. Kayleigh has been studying bacterial cell-material interactions.
• Sam Horton’s placement is with Jamie Thompson on the Biomaterials Discovery grant. Sam has been investigating the roles of GAGs in stem cell differentiation.
