Gregor Skeldon is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. He completed his undergraduate degree in biological sciences with honours in pharmacology at the University of Edinburgh, followed by a Master's in regenerative medicine with clinical applications in industrial delivery. He is now conducting a collaborative PhD project titled “3D printing liver on demand” between Heriot-Watt University, University of Edinburgh and Strathclyde University.
Gregor’s primary research interests are in biofabrication, tissue engineering and novel regenerative therapies and devices. As well as his research, he has a keen interest in technology transfer and patent law of scientific discoveries and inventions, and enjoys the opportunity to communicate his areas of interest to the physics community.
A newly developed MR imaging method can track kidney fibrosis during disease progression
A 3D printed scaffold can promote nerve regeneration in rats with spinal cord injury
A new bioink for cell encapsulation and 3D bioprinting allows large-scale growth of human pluripotent stem cells
Modifying a native protein can boost chemotherapy of tumours, while negating unwanted side effects
Using endothelial cells to re-vascularize transplanted pancreatic islets provides a step towards cell-based therapies for type 1 diabetes
Exploiting novel technologies such as bioprinting may help reduce the need for animal testing in chemical, drug and product development
