00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:12,570
You. You're trapped in here, right? Well done for making it this far. I'm sorry, but my access to

2
00:00:12,570 --> 00:00:17,350
information is limited. What I can tell you is that I'm going to read this extract of an interview

3
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:22,530
from a prominent scientist. Listen to it, figure out what their field of research is, and you'll

4
00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:27,410
get the code you need to escape. Once you know their field of research, you need to look for the

5
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:34,530
ID cards. Scan the codes with the tablet to access their ORCID page. Search for the ORCID code. You

6
00:00:34,530 --> 00:00:45,109
can generate the escape code using the clue number five. Good luck. Hello, Professor. Could

7
00:00:45,109 --> 00:00:50,450
you tell us what is unique about your field of research? I'm coming at it from being interested

8
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:57,049
in surfaces and how these can be decorated and manipulated, which is probably different than how

9
00:00:57,049 --> 00:01:02,530
a lot of other biomedical engineers would think about solving problems. We're interested in

10
00:01:02,530 --> 00:01:08,170
translation to the clinic, but looking into fundamental mechanisms also enables you to

11
00:01:08,170 --> 00:01:13,290
really think about how you're going to design materials to interact with biology.

12
00:01:14,489 --> 00:01:19,849
I've always been interested in zooming in and understanding what happens at the interface

13
00:01:19,849 --> 00:01:26,810
between a material and biomolecules or cells. Rather than just thinking about matching the bulk

14
00:01:26,810 --> 00:01:32,489
properties of a tissue, we are also thinking about the way that you can structure those materials

15
00:01:32,489 --> 00:01:37,129
so that they interact with proteins or receptors on an individual cell.

16
00:01:38,170 --> 00:01:47,790
My research brings all sorts of chemistry, but also nanostructuring of materials and new ways of thinking about processing of materials.

17
00:01:47,790 --> 00:01:55,390
It needs an interdisciplinary approach, and I am so inspired by my wonderful team.

18
00:01:56,430 --> 00:01:59,049
How are you using biomaterials for tissue repair?

19
00:01:59,049 --> 00:02:05,549
I've had an interest in bone for a long time, and that has included really thinking

20
00:02:05,549 --> 00:02:13,270
about understanding the structure of bone. In my lab, we investigated, for example, how

21
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:19,169
embryonic stem cells mineralise. Those are fundamental studies that have gone on for

22
00:02:19,169 --> 00:02:26,610
a long time. We've also used electron microscopy to really zoom in and look at the nanoscale

23
00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:28,250
structure of bone.
