QMUL Pint of Science

Pint of Science is the largest science festival in the world, happening simultaneously in 12 countries. It is organised by volunteers and our goal is to make science more accessible to the general public to avoid mistrust and misconceptions, all in the comfort of local pubs.
Come join us for one, two or three nights of science and fun!
Or please spread the word!

We’re proud to present you a talk by Dr John Connelly (Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Cell Biology and Cutaneous Research).

Over the last decade, technologies from the computer microchip industry have found new applications within biomedical research. Micro-fabrication methods can be used to engineer cells and tissues with high precision and create miniaturised models of complex organs or human diseases. Work in our laboratory focuses on developing micro-engineered models of wound-healing, which can be used to gain new insights into normal wound repair processes in the skin and to test new therapies for chronic, non-healing wounds.
