Discover the future of medicine with Prof. Adam Perriman. Learn how 3D bioprinting with “bio-inks” is revolutionising tissue engineering, from creating cartilage to developing cancer models, paving the way for personalised medicine and organ replacement.
About the speaker
Adam Perriman is a Professor of Bioengineering and was recently appointed at the Australian National University (RSC and JCSMR) and holds a joint appointment with the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Bristol (UK). He is also Director of the Bristol Centre for Bioprinting. He is internationally distinguished for his pioneering research on the construction and study of novel synthetic biomolecular systems, and his research interests span the fields of chemistry, synthetic biology and tissue engineering. His contributions to this field of interdisciplinary science led to him being named a Wellcome Trust Frontiers Innovator in 2015, and in 2016, he was awarded the British Biophysical Society Young Investigator's Award and Medal. In 2019, he was named a UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellow. In 2017 he founded the cell therapy spinout biotech company CytoSeek, which has raised in excess of $10M (CytoSeek: https://www.cytoseek.uk/). His research into the development of novel biomaterials has generated extensive media coverage and has been featured nationally in Royal Society of Chemistry’s Chemistry World, The Chemical Engineer, New Scientist, and internationally in Nature, Nature Chemistry and Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN). This research also led to nationally-broadcast interviews on BBC4.

Upcoming events in this series
The changing climate presents a significant threat to health risk factors and the capacity of healthcare providers to deliver quality and timely services.
Presented by Dr Nyoman Sutarsa
There is no question that heatwaves and extreme heat events are increasing in frequency, intensity and duration.
Presented by Dr Nicole Vargas
Widespread application of genome data to better understand human genetic diseases has provided so much information that the field of genetics is now very much a data science. Presented by Dr Dan Andrews
Imagine a world where we can treat cancer with pinpoint accuracy, targeting only the cancer cells and leaving healthy cells untouched. Presented by Associate Professor Tamas Fischer & Associate Professor Marian Burr.
Computational modelling and detection of families of deeply conserved RNA structures in vertebrates.
We have previously developed the EvoFam computational pipeline [1,2] for detecting paralogous families of structured cis-regulatory regions transcriptome-wide in mammals, using mutational information across deep vertebrate alignments. Presented by Dr Brian Parker
Loneliness is one of the strongest predictors of poor health.
Presented by Professor Tegan Cruwys
