Roxanna Abhari

DPhil Student

I completed my Bachelor at Western University in Canada. While working at the Hand and Upper Limb Centre, I became interested in developing regenerative biomaterials for soft tissue repair. These biomaterials are 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 DPhil in Molecular and Cellular Medicine. My research focuses on the development of biomaterials to augment tendon tissue repair. I am currently supervised by Professor Andrew Carr, Dr. Pierre-Alexis Mouthuy and Dr. Sarah Snelling.
