Junxi Wu

Junxi Wu is a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, UK. Their research focuses on multi-disciplinary approaches to developing bio-artificial blood vessels, vascularized organs, and applications in regenerative medicine such as vascular reconstruction surgery, organ regeneration, and drug screening platforms.

Their work spans both broad disciplines and specialized subfields:

• Disciplines: Biomedical Engineering, Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, Vascular Biology, Drug Discovery, Molecular Biology
• Subfields: 3D Bioprinting, Microvasculature Development, Atherosclerosis Mechanisms, Multi-Omics Analysis, Cellular Modeling, Biomimetic Systems

Recent research outputs include a 2025 article on DNA-based biolubricants for microvascular networks (Angewandte Chemie International Edition) and a 2025 study in Vascular Pharmacology investigating atherosclerosis using omics technologies. These works reflect a trend toward combining advanced bioprinting with molecular disease modeling.

Scientific Awards

• Best Oral presentation prize (2024) for 3D perfused microvascular network research
• Honorary Fellow, University of Edinburgh (2020)

Junxi Wu is actively accepting PhD students and has secured funding through the Royal Society's International Exchanges 2024 program for vascularized cancer model development. Their laboratory maintains key equipment including a Beadbug Microtube Homogenizer and Freeze Dryer to support tissue engineering workflows.
