Biophysics, nanocharacterisation, biomaterials, bone alteration, mesoscopic, collagen, elastic proteins, X-ray diffraction. Synchrotron radiation

Research Expertise relevant to tissue engineering & repair:

My expertise relies in the characterisation of a variety of biological tissues at different hierarchical levels.  This has mostly been through the examination of intact (explanted) tissues by X-ray diffraction at synchrotron sources and using in house equipment.  I have also used neutron scattering where appropriate.  Work has mostly been on tendon, skin zonules, bone   and chordae tendonae.  I also have an interest in the changes to these structures as a function of post mortem condition, UV irradiation, heat and mechanical damage.
