James research interests cover cell and tissue engineering, and centre on the design of active culture environments (bioreactors) for proliferating, maturing and cultivating in vitro musculoskeletal tissues. His expertise covers biomaterials, bioreactors and bioprocess technologies, disease models, biofabrication and 3D printing. He is an experienced engineer, and uses computer-aided design technology and additive manufacturing to create functioning prototypes and working bioreactors. The applications of James’ work are in healthcare technologies, regenerative medicine, disease modelling and cellular agriculture / cultivated meat. He is very happy to discuss potential research projects with prospective research students, and external partners in both academia and industry.
