Research Associate, Division of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery

Research interests

I recently joined the Division of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery after completing a PhD in toxicology and wound decontamination at the Health Protection Agency and University of Birmingham, and a post-doctoral project in wound healing at Ulster University. I work with Dr Frances Henson on an exciting project investigating the efficacy of novel cell-free constructs to treat cartilage repair. My research interests are translational investigations in the field of wound healing and trauma, and the refinement of animal models.
