The Advanced Materials in Medicine (AMM) Seminars focus on multidisciplinary projects and facilities at the University of Manchester, which discover new advanced materials and their uses to address unmet biological and clinical needs. The seminars are delivered as part of the Pankhurst Seminar Series. Each hybrid seminar consists of short talks over 1 hour. The seminar welcomes anyone with an interest in advanced materials used in clinical settings.
Speaker details:
Prof Anne Juel, Professor in Fluid Dynamics and Director of the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics. School of Physics & Astronomy.
Anne Juel is Professor of Physics of Fluids at the University of Manchester and has been the Director of the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics since 2014. She obtained her D.Phil from Oxford University in 1998 and was a post-doctoral fellow at UT Austin and Manchester before her appointment to a faculty position at the University of Manchester in 2001. Her research focuses on wetting, yield and slip phenomena, multiphase flow and instabilities, fluid-structure interaction, and biomimetic microfluidic models. She was elected to a Fellowship of the American Physical Society in 2019.
The title of Anne's talk is "Microfluidic model of micro-haemodynamics".
Ms Sophia Read, PhD Student (CDT ABM). The Henry Royce Institute. Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering (FSE).
Sophia is a final year bioengineering PhD student principally based at the Henry Royce Institute, The University of Manchester. Prior to her doctoral studies, Sophia completed an Integrated Master’s degree in Chemistry at The University of Sheffield before joining the Centre of Doctoral Training in Advanced Biomedical Materials (ABM CDT) in September 2019. Under the supervision of Dr Marco Domingos, Sophia’s research focuses on developing novel polysaccharide-based hydrogel formulations tailored for 3D bioprinting applications, with particular emphasis on those for cartilage tissue engineering. More specifically, her work has investigated means to improve the printability of low-viscosity inks, in addition to synthesising new photocurable bioinks that can support the chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells.
The title of Sophia's talk is "Addressing printability challenges for 3D bioprinting soft tissue mimics"
