MRC DTP PhD student at KCL in mechanotransduction biology. Passionate about when engineering meets biology and mechanical forces drive cell behaviours.
@GentlemanLab@Tulane So much fun to be able to do it together! It was a perfect way to end an awesome PhD experience with an awesome boss in awesome robes π
Proud professor moment at the January graduation π₯Ή. Congratulations again to @SuzetteLust and Nick! Also thrilled every time I get to wear by fab green robes π@Tulane
Check out our paper in Adv Func Mater @AdvSciNews ππ₯³We put a FRET sensor of MMP activity into PEG hydrogels & used fluorescence lifetime imaging to monitor MMP activity around cells. We show real-time MMP activity without genetically modifying cells. π§΅πhttps://t.co/fqIHbD0tYr
Massive congratulations to CCRB members for receiving academic promotions in @kingsdentistry ππ Eileen Gentleman @GentlemanLab was promoted to Professor and Ana Angelova Volponi was promoted to Reader. Thoroughly deserved!
Two strokes about research
1. Itβs a team work - a pleasure to share this day with @PhDockerill & @TovRodero, award dedicated to whole team and collaborators
2. Itβs a roller coaster, hence the value of public engagement to recharge our motivation batteries
Thanks @TheBHF !!
Your smart phone could soon work as an electronic stethoscope using an app that is allowing thousands of people to upload their heart sounds

Congratulations to Jonna whose review paper discussing the impact of intrinsic mechanical cues on stem cells and embryogenesis is out today! π₯³πhttps://t.co/KT9K3P1cti
This week I worked with @ClaireDessalles here in our lab in London. This collaboration has been and continues to be, one of the most exciting and enjoyable parts of my PhD. I know I have found a life long colleague who I will look to work with in the future and an amazing friend
