FUNDED RESEARCH


My research interests are in the use and modification of materials as biomaterials and quantification of the biological response to these materials. These avenues have developed to include major areas such as:


bioceramics including bioactive ceramics, biomaterials development, biomechanics of bone and reconstructions, image analysis in biomaterial testing, modification of cellular responses to biomaterials;

biomaterials evaluation techniques

biological molecule adsorption to surfaces; and

tissue engineering, stem cells.
