Richard Bright
Research Fellow
College of Medicine and Public Health
Presently, I serve as a Research Fellow at the Biomedical Nanoengineering Laboratory housed within the College of Medicine and Public Health. My specialisation lies in microbiology, cell biology, and molecular biology, particularly concentrating on the interplay between bacteria and mammalian cells on biomaterial substrates. Before my current role, I accrued significant experience in stem cell biology and cancer research, which encompassed participation in several industry-oriented initiatives.
