Postdoctoral FellowResearch focus
Bram is investigating how intelligently designed biomaterials can be used with novel biofabrication techniques to control the macro- and microenvironment of engineered tissues. He hopes to steer osteochondral tissue formation within these tissues by tailoring the presentation of physical and biological cues in the biomaterial, both spatially and temporally.
He works with Associate Professor Khoon Lim, Professor Tim Woodfield, Dr Gabriella Lindberg and Professor Gary Hooper.
