A high-throughput assay of cell-surface interactions using topographical and chemical gradients
This paper is the result of a BBSRC-funded collaboration between Nottingham and Glasgow (BB/E012256/1) combining UK-leading expertise in microfabrication and surface chemistry. We have demonstrated a new platform for screening the cell response to artificial materials in a high-content manner. The research led to a successful MRC Discipline Hopping grant to develop a new tool to address the demand for high-content screening of cell-substrate interactions in the development of new implant surfaces. The work has been adopted by Invibio UK (Dr M. Jarman-Smith, mjarman-smith@invibio.com) to improve implant performance, primarily for hard tissues. Invibio UK now fund a PhD studentship.
