Biography

Oana holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Tribology) from Imperial College London. After her doctoral studies, she worked as a Research Associate at the University of Manchester for two years, where she became fascinated by mechanobiological research and developed an expertise in biology to complement her extensive engineering background. From 2017 to 2022, Oana was a Research Associate at the Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment (CeMi) at the University of Glasgow. Her research focused on developing and characterizing full-length protein-based hydrogels for efficient growth factor delivery for tissue engineering applications, with a particular emphasis on bone tissue regeneration, spinal cord injuries, and vascularization. She started a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering position at the University of Glasgow in 2022.
