Applicants must be an H1/first class honours/A-average student. Applicants, please send me your CV and a copy of your transcripts. These positions are for PhD students only, we do not have funding to support postdoctoral researchers.

A 3rd PhD position will commence a new project joint with the medical school to make new hydrogel materials for cancer models. A similar educational background and skills are required.

Two positions will advance our blood vessel tissue engineering work through small animal models. A background in chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, or materials science is desired. Skill with mammalian cell culture would also be good.

We're recruiting 3 PhD students for 2 projects: blood vessel tissue engineering and materials for cancer models. Students will be in the Depart of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Melbourne. Please share and read on for more details. @UnimelbBME @ASBTE1 @UniMelb.

One more paper snuck out online before the end of the year. Investigation of the role of ECM and EVs in MSC expansion in Cell and Tissue Research @ctr_springer .

2024 has been my best year of research, with 15 manuscript accepted and new sponsorship from the Heart Foundation. This success was only possible because of my great collaborators, brilliant students, and supportive community. Thank you and looking forward to a great 2025!.

My first foray into ceramic biomaterials has been a fun one. We created hierarchically porous and 3D printed scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Work now out in @BiomaterialsAdv . Thank you to great co-authors Shareen Chan and George Franks.

Nice article in the guardian about alternative publishing frameworks, their benefits, and the challenges to their adoption.

Excited to share recent work on the development of osteon-mimetic surfaces for bone tissue engineering via a new collaborations with researchers @UniMelb and @RMIT . Thank you for getting me involved! @UnimelbBME @ElsevierMS @ASBTE1 @ExtracellMatrix .

Big congrats to all the recipients of DPs and Ideas grants!.

Having a great time at today’s ASBTE Vic Research Showcase. Always fun to meet students and learn what they’re working on. @ASBTE1.

The same interface also gave the best myotube formation, with the largest number of myotubes, the highest fusion index, the greatest diameter, and the most mature phenotype.

Using a comb polymer system, we assessed how ligand clustering and surface density independently promoted myotube formation. Ligand tetramers with high surface density were best for myoblast proliferation.

Want to engineer better skeletal muscle? Try controlling nanoscale presentation of cell adhesive ligands. New @ActaBio research by PhD student powerhouse @ShirinnNour with @AndreaJOConnor @GordonSLynch @PSG_Qiao @ASBTE1 @UnimelbBME @ExtracellMatrix .

Thrilled to be at the Graeme Clark Oration 2024 presented by Bob Langer from MIT! @GCOration

Really excited to have helped developed the new 3D printing technology - Dynamic Interface Printing - recently published in @Nature . This powerful new biofabrication tool overcomes many 3D printing limitations by using an air-liquid interface.
