معرفی
Associate Professor Anna Waterhouse is a Robinson Fellow and Head of the Cardiovascular Medical Devices Group at the Charles Perkins Centre, School of Medical Sciences, University of Sydney. Her research focuses on developing antithrombogenic materials and bioinspired medical devices to address cardiovascular diseases. She holds affiliations with the University of Sydney Nano Institute and the Australiasian Society for Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering as Treasurer and Secretary.
Education includes a BSc (1st class hons) in Cell Biology from the University of Manchester and a PhD in bioengineering from the University of Sydney. She completed postdoctoral training at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute.
Research interests span biomaterials, thrombosis prevention, and medical device engineering. Key projects include liquid-infused surfaces for anti-thrombotic coatings and biomimetic in vitro models. Her work integrates bioengineering, nanotechnology, and surface modification to improve medical device compatibility.
Scientific awards include the Robinson Fellowship and CPC Mid-Career Researcher Support Award. Grants funded by ARC, Heart Foundation, and NSW Health support projects like slippery nano-coatings for medical devices. She advises PhD students in biomolecular nanotechnology, endothelial cell studies, and DNA nanostructures.
Labs and collaborations involve Sydney Nano Institute and Charles Perkins Centre, focusing on translational research in cardiovascular and biomedical engineering.
