Following completion of her Masters, Caitlin continued on to a PhD as part of the Advanced Biomedical Materials CDT under the supervision of Dr Frederik Claeyssens, Dr Nicola Green and Dr William English.
- Research interests
-
Caitlin’s current research interests focus on the use of biomaterials for the use of in vitro testing to reduce the need for in vivo testing. She is currently working on a lab-based vascularised tissue for in vitro lab on a chip models for healthy and diseased tissue, particularly focusing on modelling cancer metastasis.
Caitlin’s current work mainly utilises emulsion templating using photocurable polycaprolactone-based materials.
