Division Director, UCL Division of Surgery and Interventional Science
Professor Vivek Mudera is Division Director at UCL Surgery & Interventional Science and Vice-Dean Education for the Faculty of Medical Sciences.
His main research interests include in vitro and in vivo musculoskeletal engineering and wound healing.
He is an active member of the UK Tissue Engineering Community and an elected member of the EPSRC College.
Highlights of his work include the development of 3D Tendon, skin and muscle organoids using mechanical cues in bespoke bioreactors and the identification of key molecular and cellular markers. The investigation of specific cell migration during flexor tendon healing and formation of adhesions, the prevention of adhesion formation using protein blockers, the identification of cellular mechanisms in Dupuytren’s Contracture and Frozen Shoulder are also areas of research interests.
