Greg Szulgit

Dr. Greg Szulgit is a Senior Lecturer in Physiology and Biomedical Science at Queen Mary University of London, affiliated with the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences. His academic journey includes graduate training at Scripps Institution of Oceanography on echinoderm connective tissues, followed by postdoctoral research on collagen expression in medical conditions like keloids and in bioengineering contexts involving hepatocytes.

His research focuses on mutable collagenous tissues in echinoderms (e.g., starfish, sea cucumbers), collagen-related pathologies, and pedagogical innovation in e-learning. Key interests include the biomechanics of marine organisms, collagen fibril structure, and tissue engineering applications.

Dr. Szulgit teaches undergraduate courses such as Biomedical Physiology II, emphasizing cardiovascular and respiratory systems. His publications span over two decades, with notable contributions to understanding collagen dynamics in marine organisms and human pathologies. He actively engages in pedagogical research to refine teaching methodologies in small-university settings.

His work bridges fundamental biological research with applied fields like regenerative medicine and educational technology, reflecting a commitment to both scientific discovery and teaching excellence.
