Dr. Jerran Santos is the Group Leader of the Advanced Tissue Engineering and Stem Cell Biology Group at the University of Technology Sydney and holds an Honorary Professorship at the University of Toulouse. He has been awarded over USD 5 million for research programs and has established several international collaborations. Dr. Santos is an active consultant for the TGA and a member of the Academy of Science. He possesses a broad spectrum of expertise across various areas, including next-generation genome sequencing, biomaterial design, 3D printing, organoid synthesis, microfluidics, cytokine and immunomodulation, 3D molecular modelling, and protein interaction network building. His primary interests lie in employing a systems biology approach using both bulk and single-cell multi-omics technologies, alongside modern and classical molecular biology, biochemistry, and microscopy techniques, to examine phenotypic shifts. His research also focuses on utilizing stem cells to develop models for degenerative diseases and identify biomarkers, thereby contributing to the expansion of knowledge through the discovery of key pathways involved in disease development.
