Areas of expertise: Polymer degradation, Biomaterials
I am interested in polymers and plastics to solve important human and animal health issues. It is important because as a society we should aim to overcome disease and help people live long and healthy lives. My work aims to benefit a range of conditions including type I diabetes (polymer scaffolds for an artificial pancreas), chronic wounds (flexible polymer scaffolds for artificial skin) and drug delivery implants (for Chlamydia in koalas and a range of disease in cattle and sheep).
