معرفی
Dr. Matthew Turner is a Researcher at Swansea University, affiliated with the Swansea University Medical School and the Reconstructive Surgery & Regenerative Medicine Research Centre (ReconRegen). He holds a BSc in Genetics and a PhD in Reproductive Immunobiology under Prof. Martin Sheldon. His work focuses on 3D-printed structures to improve outcomes for facial deformity patients. Areas of expertise include cell signaling, immunology, inflammation, metabolism, and molecular biology.
Education:
- BSc Genetics, Swansea University
- PhD in Reproductive Immunobiology (Supervisor: Prof. Martin Sheldon)
Research Interests: Dr. Turner's research bridges immunology, molecular biology, and regenerative medicine. He investigates cellular defense mechanisms, metabolic-immune interactions, and tissue engineering solutions for reconstructive surgery. His recent work explores how glucocorticoids and glutamine protect tissues against bacterial toxins, with implications for clinical applications.
Publications Trends: His research spans animal models (cattle endometrium studies) to human medical applications. Key themes include innate immune signaling pathways, metabolic stress responses, and translational innovations in surgical reconstruction. Over 10 peer-reviewed articles since 2012 highlight contributions to understanding pathogen defense mechanisms in reproductive systems and regenerative medicine.
Teaching: Contributes to undergraduate medical science programs, focusing on laboratory skills and scientific communication.
Labs/Teams: Active member of ReconRegen, the UK's largest reconstructive surgery research group, led by Prof. Iain Whitaker.
