Current Research

My research focuses on immunomodulatory biomaterials and how their properties shape the host immune response to implanted devices. In particular, I am interested in how surface chemistry (Materials Today Bio 2023), three-dimensional structure and topography (Biomaterials Science 2022; Chemical Engineering Journal 2025; ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2019), drug release from biomaterials (ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2023, Biomaterials Science 2025), and mechanical properties (Biomaterials Science 2025, Acta Biomaterilia 2026) influence the behaviour of immune cells, particularly macrophages. Through this work, I aim to establish design principles for biomaterials that interact more constructively with the immune system. The long-term goal is to support the development of more biocompatible implantable biomaterials with improved performance and reduced adverse foreign body responses.
