Publications

  • Single Molecule Ionic Current Sensing in Segmented Flow Microfluidics

    Analytical Chemistry

    Within a robust and mechanically stable platform, individual droplet compositions are distinguished before single molecule translocations from the droplet are detected electrochemically via the Coulter principle.

  • Biomimetic Collagen Scaffolds With Anisotropic Pore Architecture

    Acta Biomaterialia

    Anisotropic, three dimensional, sponge-like scaffolds of collagen show significant potential for the regeneration and repair of a broad range of damaged human tissues. Here, uniaxial and multi-directional temperature gradients are applied during scaffold fabrication and their effect on pore directionality characterised.
