Helen Colley

Biography

I was appointed as Lecturer at the School of Clinical Dentistry in 2012 after working as a post-doctoral research associate within the department for 5 years on developing novel tissue engineered oral mucosal equivalents for research and translational applications. Previous to this I completed an undergraduate degree in Anatomy and Cell Biology and a PhD in Tissue Engineering.

Research Interest

My main research interest is in tissue engineering of the oral mucosa in particular the generation of novel 3D in vitro models to assist in understanding the cause and progression of oral diseases, the development of next generation therapeutics and drug delivery mechanisms, and as tools for testing novel diagnostic technologies.
