Advanced Materials in Medicine team
About us
We are delighted to introduce the Advanced Materials in Medicine team, who have played a central role in shaping and supporting the Mechanobiology and Biomechanics Forum. Their commitment and collaborative efforts have been instrumental in planning the Forum’s launch, bringing together researchers, and ensuring its success.
With a wealth of expertise spanning biomaterials, tissue engineering, cell-matrix biology, and beyond, the team continues to drive forward our vision of fostering interdisciplinary research and innovation. Their leadership and dedication provide the foundation for creating a thriving community where ideas, knowledge, and technologies can be shared across the University.
We look forward to working closely with the AMM team as the Forum grows into a regular series of events, strengthening connections across disciplines and helping us better understand the impact of biomechanics on health, disease, and development.
