An opportunity has arisen to contribute to a research group working on advanced tissue engineering of skeletal muscle.
Our group uses 3D biomimetic models that show physiological and biochemical features of native skeletal muscle. Furthermore, we have now been able to incorporate motor neurons within these models, demonstrating successful innervation. The group is now seeking to establish innervated tissue with system level viability, using a highly strained neuromuscular junction exemplar.
Informal enquiries should be made to Professor Mark Lewis, Dean of School and Professor of Musculoskeletal Biology by email to M.P.Lewis@lboro.ac.uk.
