Dr. Peter Twigg currently works as a Reader in Medical Engineering at the School of Engineering, University of Bradford, Bradford, UK. His major research fields include biomaterials, particularly hydrogels and cell-conducting materials for soft tissue repair; biomechanics at human, tissue, and cellular scales, particularly dynamic mechanical analysis; and surface engineering of medical devices. His primary research interests include: 1. tissue mechanics–soft tissue characterization, structure-property relationships, dynamic mechanical analysis, multi-scale modeling; 2. biomaterials–development of tissue replacement materials, biotribology, surface engineering, orthopedics; 3. tissue engineering scaffold materials–electrospinning, hydrogel scaffolds, porous structures, functional scaffolds; 4. cell-surface interactions–surface characterization, cell adhesion, cell guiding structures, anti-microbial surfaces, biofilm formation, and bio-integration of implants.
