معرفی
Catherine C Berry is a Lecturer in Molecular Biosciences at the University of Glasgow, focusing on nanoparticle-cell interactions for biomedical applications. Her work spans magnetic and gold nanoparticle delivery systems, 3D cell culture modeling, and manipulation of stem cell behavior.
Research areas include:
- Magnetic nanoparticles for enhanced cell transfection and niche modeling
- Gold nanoparticles for siRNA delivery and photothermal therapy
- 3D tissue-engineered models of bone marrow and cancer dormancy
- Stem cell differentiation via microRNA inhibition
- Blood-brain barrier transport studies
Article trends show consistent focus on nanoparticle functionalization (2004-2023), 3D cell culture systems (2007-2023), and stem cell manipulation (2009-2023), with recent emphasis on cancer dormancy (2018-2023) and leukaemic stem cell modeling (2023).
Scientific awards:
- Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship (2006-2010)
Grants include EPSRC funding for bone marrow niche engineering (2025-2031), NC3Rs grants for 3D disease modeling, and BBSRC projects on pathogen interactions. She supervises multiple PhD students and co-developed 3D multiwell plate platforms for stem cell research.
