Research Interests
Tissue transplantation is increasingly being used as an effective, and cost-effective, intervention for a wide variety of clinical conditions. Viable tissues are required for most grafts, such as corneas for restoration of vision, skin in the treatment of burn patients, the islets of Langerhans for the treatment of diabetes, heart valves, and blood vessels. Although cells in suspension can generally be cryopreserved with high recovery of viability and function, long term storage in liquid nitrogen is currently available for only a limited range of tissues, and the functional recovery of these tissues may be compromised by the process of cryopreservation. Cryopreservation of organs is still in the experimental phase. At present I am trying to extend the current understanding of the responses of tissues at low temperatures by monitoring cell-to-cell and cell-to-substrate interactions in several model and real tissue systems. The primary outcomes expected from my work are a better understanding of tissue systems at low temperatures, and direct application of these development to the cryopreservation of tissues currently used in transplantation.

Expertise and Research InterestsNatural and
engineered tissues are increasingly being used as effective and
cost-effective approaches a wide variety of applications in
transplantation medicine, other medical applications, toxicology
testing, agriculture, and food engineering. Cryopreservation is often
the only method for preserving physiological structure, viability and
function in living tissues for long periods of time, so our research
efforts are now exploring methods for cryopreservation of viability and
function in complex cellular and tissue systems.
Industrial RelevanceThe reproductive
biology of many species is now central to the production of food in
plants, fish, birds and animals. Preservation of reproductive tissues in
these species is becoming increasingly critical to ensure the food
supply keeps pace with the demand. In many cases, research is required
to bring our ability to cryopreserve reproductive cells and tissues up
to a standard that maximizes benefit to this industry.
