I have worked in medical research since 1995, with a dual focus on neuromuscular disorders and melanoma. Muscle regeneration My current research focuses on the influence of the extracellular matrix on the regeneration of skeletal muscle in ageing and injury. The ability of skeletal muscle to regenerate depends on both the stem cells resident in adult muscle and whether the surrounding environment provides the support and biological cues that these cells need to proliferate and differentiate to form muscle fibres. The long term goal of this project is to develop a fully functionalized synthetic scaffold to support muscle regeneration. It is envisaged the scaffold will recapitulate the n...
