Biomedical Engineer bridging the fields of neuroscience and tissue engineering - interested in 3D-printing, biomaterials and neurotrauma @TissueEngDublin
Joined April 2012
⚡ New Paper Published! ⚡ Just out in Advanced Science, we developed biomimetic hyaluronic acid scaffolds containing tunable 3D-printed MXene microfibre networks to enhance delivery of electrical stimulation to neurons and stem cell neurospheres:

Really enjoyed presenting my work on developing 3D printed MXene biomaterials at @bio. Combining 3D printing with conductive nanomaterials provides us with exciting tools for tuning electrical stimulation based therapies.
@iWoodsie presenting his research on 3D printed electroconductive MXene-based microstructures in a biomimetic tissue engineering scaffold for spinal cord repair at BinI this morning. #TERGonTour

Interested in Immunometabolism, Biomaterials or hiring new faculty: Check out this great paper from @MadukaVict et al. at @natBME. @MadukaVict is an amazing postdoc at @BurdickLab currently in the job market
I dared to dream, and God showed mercy! Check out our paper in @natBME on how immunometabolic cues regulate the trafficking and polarization states of immune cells around biomaterials: https://t.co/4bPT8MhDvn. To our co-authors, collaborators and peer reviewers--thank you!
