We are an interdisciplinary group working on developing supramolecular biomaterials and fabrication processes to tackle challenges in regenerative medicine
University of Nottingham
Joined October 2015
Check out our Perspective on emerging #biofabrication and #biomanufacturing technologies, with @ArnoldLiningJu With innovative design & system #EngineeringBio, we hope to move closer to making functional human tissues and organs at scale.

Studying water's behaviour is tricky – how do you distinguish between a hydrogen-bonded water and an unbonded one? New research has used x-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy to detect changes in local hydrogen-bonding, as @philipcball explores. https://t.co/V9rIIkxNKb

The hydrogen-bonded network in liquid water resists compression; density increases instead arise from molecules moving into voids

Elegant work Cosimo!
Happy to share our latest publication on J Mater Chem B. Here, we developed a gentle method to disassemble self-assembling peptide hydrogels, allowing high-yield recovery of encapsulated cells for further cell manipulation. @Mata_Lab @AOCMF_BOOST @NottmBRC
