2023 Engineering Nervous System Regeneration

‌‌

James Phillips is Professor of Regenerative Medicine (from October 2020) and Vice-Dean (Innovation & Enterprise) for the Faculty of Life Sciences, having been Reader in Regenerative Medicine at the UCL School of Pharmacy since 2017. Prior to that he was Senior Lecturer in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering at UCL (2013-2017).

James is currently involved in a range of research projects including collaborations with scientists, clinicians and engineers working in academia and industry. He is a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Biomaterials Applications, part of the Executive Committee of the Tissue and Cell Engineering Society and President of the European Society for the Study of Peripheral Nerve Repair and Regeneration.

In this seminar, he will talk about tissue engineering to organise cells in 3D for modelling and repairing the nervous system, and the combination of biomaterials technology with drugs and advanced therapies for nervous system regenerative medicine.
