Dr Marco Cantini

  • MRC/UKRI Rutherford Fund Fellow (Biomedical Engineering)

Research interests

In 2018, I was awarded a UKRI Rutherford Fund Fellowship, granted by the MRC in alignment with the UK Regenerative Medicine Platform (UKRMP) initiative.

My work, based at the Biomedical Engineering Research Division of the University of Glasgow, is carried out within the Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment, a cross-college multidisciplinary initiative of the University, and the Acellular/Smart Materials Hub of the UKRMP.

My current research seeks to engineer microenvironments to harvest stem cell response to viscosity, in particular for the promotion of chondrogenic differentiation for cartilage repair.

My research interests include the design of biointerfaces and microenvironments to simulate the spatio-temporal cues of the extracellular matrix in both physiological and pathological conditions, for applications in regenerative medicine, drug testing and understanding disease mechanisms. I'm also interested in protein adsorption, cell adhesion, stem cell differentiation, atomic force microscopy and spectroscopy.

Biography

In 2004 I received my Bachelor and in 2006 my Master degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino in Italy, with full marks and honours. I then graduated from the school for young talents Alta Scuola Politecnica in 2007.

Between 2007 and 2010 I pursued a PhD in Biomedical and Biomechanical Engineering through a joint PhD program (Scuola Interpolitecnica) of the three Italian Technical Universities. I then held post-doctoral researcher positions at the Universitat Politècnica de València and at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia in Spain, focussing my interest on the modulation of cell-protein-material interactions to control cell fate.

In 2013, I moved to the University of Glasgow, where I have been working on material-based strategies to engineer tissue repair and regeneration as a Research Associate in the Microenvironments for Medicine group led by Professor Manuel Salmeron-Sanchez and as a Research Fellow in the Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment since 2018, following the award of a UKRI Rutherford Fund Fellowship.

In 2019 I have been appointed as Lecturer in Medical Applications of Engineering Materials in the School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow, with effect after the end of my fellowship in 2021.
