معرفی
Professor Róisín M. Owens serves as Professor of Bioelectronics within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge. Her research program centers on developing integrated in vitro systems that combine biological models with advanced monitoring methodologies to study human biology through minimally invasive approaches.
Her work spans three interconnected research strands:
- Basic understanding of biological material-transducer interfaces
- Development of 3D models incorporating fluidics and electronics
- Application of 3D in vitro systems to investigate human pathologies
Specializing in electroactive materials that bridge rigid transducers and compliant biological tissues, her research enables biomimetic probing of biological systems. Key focus areas include bioelectronics, biosensors, tissue engineering, and biomedical engineering, with particular emphasis on creating physiologically relevant models for medical research.
Professor Owens leads the BioElectronic System Technologies research group and maintains active laboratory operations at the Cambridge West campus (Philippa Fawcett Drive). Her direct contact channels include telephone (+44 (0)1223 763969) and email (rmo37@cam.ac.uk), reflecting her current operational status within the department.
