Multi-Disciplinary Research
Our research focuses on using smart external physical cues to control adult stem cell fate. Combining temporal single cell analysis with custom fabricated high through-put cell culture systems, our multidisciplinary group spans the fields of materials, biology, and engineering.
- Single cell analysis – Advanced Atomic Force Microscopy to measure biophysical and biochemical changes in individual living cells.
Smart stimulus platforms – Custom fabricated cell culture platforms are developed in RMIT’s Micro Nano Research Facility and Advanced Manufacturing Precinct..
Personalised tissue engineering – Using external physical stimuli we can control stem cell fate to target different phenotypes, thus paving the way for personalised tissue engineering for individual patients.
