Samantha Wilson

Samantha Wilson is a Specialist and Supporting Academic in Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering at Loughborough University. She holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Keele University (2013), focusing on corneal stromal models. Her career spans tissue engineering, stem cell manufacturing, and military healthcare innovations. She was awarded an EPSRC E-TERM Fellowship (2013) and later contributed to the UKRMP Pluripotent Stem Cell Platform, advancing scalable stem cell processes.

Her research interests include corneal regeneration, pluripotent stem cell bioprocessing, traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation technologies, and regenerative therapies for musculoskeletal injuries. She has collaborated with institutions like the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

Wilson has earned certifications in leadership (ILM Levels 3 & 4) and mental health first aid. Her work emphasizes translational research, bridging clinical needs with technological solutions for military and civilian healthcare challenges.

Notable achievements include developing decellularized corneal substitutes, optimizing dopaminergic neuron differentiation for Parkinson’s therapy, and advancing PRP applications in fracture management. She advocates for standardized protocols in cell manufacturing and cross-sector technology transfer for TBI rehabilitation.
