Stem cell labs
Our laboratory contains state-of the-art equipment including a 3D bio-printer and has established a collaborative project with the School of Engineering Technology and Design for the development of bio-reactors for tissue engineering.
The SCRABEL laboratory provides a collaborative environment, working together with Canterbury Christ Church University Faculties and industrial partners bringing together diverse disciplines such as bioscience, clinical practise, engineering and computing to promote innovation in biomedical research.
Practising study area
Our multidisciplinary research team consists of research scientists with expertise in bone and cartilage tissue regeneration, genome organisation and transcription control in cell differentiation, embryonic and adult stem cell biology and clinical consultants specialising in an array of disciplines, such as orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynaecology, renal medicine, otorhinolaryngology. Additionally, we have fostered an expanding network of external multidisciplinary collaborations.
