Professor Cameron Brown
is developing advanced computational models that help us better understand how soft tissues – such as the cartilage in joints – function when healthy, and the physical processes that cause them to break down in disease. The research, in collaboration with the University of Oxford, shows how different treatments could interrupt the progression of diseases such as arthritis, paving the way for better therapies and personalised patient care. The models are powered by cutting-edge imaging techniques that provide highly detailed information on tissue structure, allowing the researchers to simulate how these tissues behave and their interactions with the collagen networks that provide support and flexibility. Professor Brown is Director of the Medical Engineering Research Facility, which plays a key role in development and testing of new medical devices, and training clinicians in their use.
