Profile photo 
Upload your profile photo in Subscribe (opens in a new tab). Your profile photo in Pure is not linked to your public staff profile. Choose a clear, recent headshot where you are easily recognisable. Your image should be at least 340 by 395 pixels. 

Name 
To change your name or prefix title contact Ask HR (opens in new tab)  If you want to update an academic title you'll need to provide evidence e.g. a PhD certificate. The way your name is displayed is automatic and cannot be changed. You can also update your post-nominal letters in Subscribe (opens in a new tab).

Job title 
Raise a request through ServiceNow (opens in a new tab) to change your job title (40 characters maximum) unless you're on the ERE career pathway. If you're on the ERE path you can not change your main job title, but you can request other minor updates through Ask HR (opens in new tab). If you have more than one post only your main job title will display here, but you can add further posts or roles in other sections of your profile.

Research interests (for researchers only) 
Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page. Keep these brief and focus on the keywords people may use when searching for your work. Use a different line for each one.

In Pure (opens in a new tab), select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading 'Curriculum and research description', select 'Add profile information'. In the dropdown menu, select 'Research interests: use separate lines'.

Contact details 
Add or update your email address, telephone number and postal address in Subscribe (opens in a new tab). Use your University email address for your primary email.

About

Dr Nicholas Evans is Professor in Bioengineering with a joint appointment between the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.

"My research focuses on how materials and cells can be used to promote the repair and regeneration of damaged or diseased tissues."

Nick was appointed as a lecturer in Bioengineering at Southampton University in January 2011. He holds a dual appointment between the Faculties of Engineering and Physical Sciences and Medicine, where he is based in the Centre for Human Development, Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine.

He completed a PhD at King's College under the supervision of Prof John Pickup, where he researched techniques in fluorescence spectroscopy for tracking metabolism in cells by using their natural fluorescence. After experiencing some of the excitement of stem cell biology, he worked as an MRC postdoctoral fellow at Imperial College researching the effects of extracellular matrix on the differentiation of embryonic stem cells. He then took a postdoctoral position at Stanford University to study how delivery of Wnt proteins in liposome carriers could be used to promote wound healing, before his appointment at Southampton.

He now leads a research team working on several aspects of regenerative medicine relating to bone (see Research pages), and collaborates with a number of other researchers in the UK and Europe.

He is currently Deputy Head of the School of Human Development and Health (one of 4 schools in the Faculty of Medicine), chairs the Scientific Advisory Committee for Wessex Medical Research, and has acted as committee member on several panels, most recent as core member of BBRSC Committee C. 


He teaches on the University’s Bachelor of Medicine and Masters of Engineering courses (see Teaching section), and regularly explains his research to schools in the local area through the University’s outreach programmes. He leads a residential workshop for school students on biomedical engineering with the Smallpeice Trust.
