Research profile and key clinical specialties
My interdisciplinary research area focuses on orthopaedics, wound care, and early detection cancer biomarker models.
In each of these approaches I utilise biomaterials as a scaffold for a tissue engineering approach or by itself as an acellular approach to treat tissue injuries.
I have led the development of a variety of different bioreactors for such purposes, including a bioreactor that has capability of growing a bone/cartilage plug, and an electrical bioreactor that can apply physiologically relevant electrical stimuli to cells/tissue.
I also have a research interest in the development of X-ray imaging techniques for tissues.
Two key publications
- Balint, R., Cassidy, N.J., Cartmell, S.H. (2014) Conductive Polymers: Towards a Smart Biomaterial for Tissue Engineering Acta Biomaterialia 10(6) 2341-2353.
- Juan Shong Khaw, Ruikang Xue, Nigel Cassidy, Sarah H Cartmell “Electrical Stimulation of Titanium to Promote Stem Cell Orientation, Elongation and Osteogenesis” 2021 accepted for publication in Acta Biomaterialia
Possible PhD projects
- Tendon repair products
- Mechanical force for human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation
- Co-culture bioreactor design for osteochondral tissue
- Electrical stimulation to influence stem cell proliferation and differentiation for tissue engineering
More information
My research group currently has 20 members with two PDRAs and 18 PhD students.
I am Head of The Department of Materials and President of the Tissue and Cell Engineering Society in the UK.
