Bone and Tissue Engineering Research Group

Welcome to the Bone and Tissue Engineering Research Group headed by Prof. Clive Lee, Prof. Fergal O'Brien and Dr Garry Duffy.

Anatomy Research Group 2011 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(For individual profiles see Anatomy Research Staff)

The group carries out research in a wide variety of areas including tissue engineering of bone and cartilage, regenerative medicine, stem cell biology, drug delivery, gene therapy and angiogenesis. We have collaborations with the Trinity Centre for Bioengineering and REMEDI (NUIG) amongst other national and international partners. Our group is truely multidisciplinary with physical, material and life scientists, engineers,  medics and veterinary surgeons all working together.

The main strands of research within the group are:

   Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

   Osteoporosis and Bone Mechanics

   Cardiovascular Disease Modification

 

 

 

Gel Embedded MLOY4 cells

Microdamage in compact bone

Microvessels in a collagen GAG scaffold

In-vivo fluorochrome labelled compact bone
