Welcome to the University of Glasgow
Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment
We are a multidisciplinary team of bioengineers and cell engineers based at the University of Glasgow.
We focus on understanding the interactions between materials, proteins and cells to gain fundamental insight into engineering cell behaviour and translating technologies to provide better healthcare.

Harnessing the mechanosensitivity of cells for regenerative therapies and disease detection
Dr Olivia Johnson-Love introduces the novel method of vibration-based cell engineering in order to alter the fate of stem cells. Cells are highly responsive to mechanical cues in their microenvironment, …Read moreIntegrin-growth factor dynamics in cancer stemness and tissue regeneration
Dr Udesh Dhawan introduces some of his recent research on how integrins can be utilised in growth factor activation and the development of a mechanobiology-based bone regeneration platform. Integrins are …Read more
