My current research focuses on developing microfluidic platforms to investigate how microbial metabolites influence immune and neurological function in human relevant systems.

My experience with microphysiological systems began during my PhD, where I gained extensive hands on expertise working with liver on a chip platforms. This work sparked my strong interest in recreating physiologically relevant environments in vitro and shaped my approach to studying complex biological systems using controlled, engineered models

I later expanded my expertise during my postdoctoral research, where I worked on hydrogels and biomaterials, learning how to design and apply these materials to better mimic the extracellular environment and support cell behaviour in engineered systems.

My research now brings together microfluidics, biomaterials, and advanced in vitro platforms—alongside computational modelling—to better understand physiological processes in human relevant models.
