Roxanna Abhari
DPhil Student
I completed my Bachelor of Medical Sciences in 2015 at Western University, Canada. While working at the Hand and Upper Limb Centre, I became interested in developing implants and 'smart' materials for soft tissue repair - implants that not only provide mechanical support to our tissues but also actively contribute to the endogenous tissue repair process.
In 2015, I moved to Oxford to begin a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Medicine. My research focuses on the development of medical textiles to use as scaffolds for musculoskeletal tissue engineering. I am currently supervised by Professor Andrew Carr, Dr. Pierre-Alexis Mouthuy and Dr. Sarah Snelling.
