Jia Hua

Dr. Jia Hua is a Professor in Clinical Engineering at Middlesex University, with a primary appointment in the Natural Sciences research institute. His career focuses on orthopedic biomaterials, implant design, and regenerative medicine. Key research interests include the biomechanics of hip prosthetics, stem cell applications in bone regeneration, and surface functionalization of medical implants.

His work spans over three decades, with contributions to understanding implant-bone interactions, material degradation in modular tapers, and optimizing scaffold designs for tissue engineering. Notable studies include investigations into PEEK hip prosthesis stress shielding, porous Ti6Al4V scaffold manufacturing, and gene expression patterns in distraction osteogenesis.

Dr. Hua has collaborated extensively on clinical and biomechanical projects, including SPECT-CT diagnostics for metal-on-metal hip complications and long-term outcomes of CAD-CAM femoral components. His research bridges engineering principles with clinical applications, aiming to improve implant longevity and patient outcomes.
