We explore new technologies and treatments to promote the repair and regeneration of bones and cartilage. Our research cuts across the boundaries of the biological, medical and physical sciences.
After injury, or as a result of disease or old age, our bones and joints may not heal properly. Our aim is to provide better treatments to promote the regeneration of the tissues that make up our skeletons so we can remain active and pain free throughout our lives.
We are primarily biologists, but our expertise ranges across the boundaries of different fields of research, including engineering, physics, chemistry and mathematics. To achieve our aims, we collaborate closely with other teams with complimentary expertise at the University of Southampton and beyond.
Our main research areas include:
Our research is inherently translational, and we have close connections with partners outside the academic world, including with companies such as Renovos and GE Healthcare and with the Defence Science and Technology laboratories and University Hospital Southampton.
