Connelly Lab

Bioengineering lab interested in skin repair, regeneration, and mechanobiology

[Connelly Lab @ConnellyBioEng]

@sciqst Thanks for the comment and interest in our work. We foresee these types of models being used both for discovery of human-specific mechanisms of immune dysfunction in skin disease and for preclinical testing of drugs and immunotherapy.

[Connelly Lab @ConnellyBioEng]

We're pleased to share our new preprint on modelling dynamic immune responses in human skin! It has been a tremendous effort from everyone involved and we're excited to continue this new direction of research in immuno-competent skin models. https://t.co/AOMPioihfF

🚨 Super psyched this story is finally out!

Herculean effort and 3rd chef d’oeuvre in @NatCellBio by @patriziaromani in just 5y, where we describe #mitochondrial #mechanotransduction.

Excited to share our new method in @ScienceMagazine to advance the properties of DLP-printed materials.

This work was led by @apdhand & @fiber_matt in collaboration w/ @HannahZlotnick & NIST colleagues.

Get your organ-on-a-chip abstracts in for #BioMedEng24, happening @QMUL this Sept! Slots for oral and poster presentations across two organ-on-a-chip (broadly defined) conference sessions. It’s going to be great! @OrganOnAChip @QMULCPM

[Connelly Lab @ConnellyBioEng]

Exciting news! The @QMULCPM has recently been awarded a large project grant from the EPSRC to develop new organ-on-chip technologies https://t.co/Q5acZrIVbN. We are now recruiting for 3 postdoc positions!! https://t.co/uYgaYCVz4Y. Please get in touch in interested.

[Connelly Lab @ConnellyBioEng]

Enjoyed sharing our work on human skin models at the #EWMA2024 today! Lots of cool tech in the industry exhibition. @QMULCPM @QMCREATE

[QMUL Centre for Predictive in vitro Models (CPM) @QMULCPM]

Prof Knight, Screen and Connelly will shortly be recruiting three new organ-chip post doctoral research assistants as part of a major 3-year grant on spatial tissue patterning within organ-chips funded by EPSRC with 6 industry partners, and based at Queen Mary @QMUL @QMULSciEng

[Connelly Lab @ConnellyBioEng]

Thoroughly enjoyed the @EMBOevents workshop on nuclear mechano-genomics this week! Great talks, discussion and location, and it was a pleasure to share our work on #mechanobiology of the nucleolus.

[QMUL Sci & Eng News @QMULSciEng]

Huge news for #OrgandonChip research! @QMULSEMS awarded £7 million by @EPSRCCDT to train the next generation of scientists & bioengineers in this game-changing technology. This could revolutionise drug discovery & improve healthcare for all! #EPSRC_CDTs https://t.co/zpfK9QVrMU

[The National Centre for the 3Rs @NC3Rs]

A heart-on-chip model from Julien Gautrot and @StefaniaDiCio @QMULSEMS captures functionality (beating) and the microvasculature of cardiac tissue. Explore how new approach methodologies can replace animals in drug/chemical safety testing on our NAMs hub: https://t.co/k8djAJmtL2

The GlycoWeb BBSRC sLOLA is recruiting! Please circulate to your networks and get in touch for more information. @2022Pg @GlycobiologyUK @ExtracellMatrix @SFGlycobiology @Glyco_Alps

[Dr Emma S Chambers @Emma_S_Chambers]

Just a reminder I have a funded PhD advertised closing date is the 15th Feb.

[AnimalFreeResearchUK @AFR_UK]

Thank you George Eustice for visiting our Animal Replacement Centre of Excellence at @QMUL today to see first-hand human-specific research & meet with future-focused scientists. Great to discuss how #ethicalinnovation can boost our economy, our NHS, and advance medical research
