Suwan Jayasinghe's Biography

Suwan Jayasinghe, Professor of Bioengineering, Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine and Department of Mechanical Engineering, University College London

Professor Suwan Jayasinghe leads the efforts of the BioPhysics Group at University College London. His research has pioneered several direct cell handling platforms for reconstructing multi-cellular three-dimensional architectures mimicking native tissues. These platforms are flexible as they are capable of significantly contributing to three-dimensional cell cryopreservation and culture, generation of human biological models, to the ability to develop practical methods for high throughput screening, drug development to the localized delivery of cells, drugs and tissues for repairing/rejuvenating damaged and dysfunctional tissues and organs. Hence these platforms coupled with experimental and/or medical cells/genes/molecules have revolutionary implications to regenerative biology and medicine.
