I’m a professor of Biomolecular Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Manchester and I’m also part of the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology.

My research focuses on polymer and peptide design, development and application. Inspired by nature’s materials, I explore the chemistry of these molecular building blocks and use a suite of experimental tools to engineer and scale them into functional materials that people use in everyday products, focussing on regenerative medicine, looking at materials for tissue generation, tissue repair, and drug delivery.
