Julie is a cell biologist whose research interests are in tissue engineering of mechanically sensitive connective tissues such as bone, cartilage and the intervertebral disc. Her research includes controlling cell responses at the cell/biomaterial interface by engineering defined surfaces. This includes analysis and control of cells such as osteoblasts, chondrocytes, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and macrophages on a variety of materials and scaffolds. Julie's research also involves development of scaffolds for tissue repair such as novel hydrogels and various porous and fibrous materials.
Julie has published over 50 papers and is a member of the UK Society for Biomaterials (UKSB) Council, the Royal Microscopical Society Materials Section Committee, the EPSRC Peer Review College, the BBSRC Pool of Experts and the Royal Society URF interview panel. Julie collaborates widely within academia and industries such as Johnson and Johnson and Smith and Nephew.
