معرفی
Dr. Hannah Donnelly is a Research Fellow in Molecular Biosciences at the University of Glasgow. Her work focuses on bioengineering human tissue models of key immune system organs, such as bone marrow and lymph nodes, to serve as non-animal drug testing platforms and to elucidate their functional mechanisms in health and disease.
- BBSRC Discovery Fellowship (2024-2027)
- Grants: 'ECMagine' (BBSRC 2024-2025), 'Lymph Node Organoids' (BBSRC 2024-2027), 'Engineered Microenvironments for CRISPR-Edited HSCs' (Carnegie Trust 2020)
Research Themes: The majority of Dr. Donnelly’s publications emphasize bioengineered extracellular matrix systems, mechanotransduction in stem cells, and modeling of lymphoid organs. Her work bridges materials science and immunology, with specific attention to mesenchymal stem cell adhesion, nanoscale mechanical stimulation, and in vitro tissue models.
Collaborations: She frequently collaborates with Prof. Manuel Salmeron-Sanchez and Prof. Matthew J. Dalby across multiple institutions. Active in the Glasgow Centre for Engineered Microenvironments and Immune Health (CEMI), where she applies advanced biomaterials to immune system modeling.
