Yvonne Reinwald

Dr Yvonne Reinwald is a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering within the School of Science & Technology at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). Previously at Keele University's Institute for Science and Technology, she conducted regenerative medicine research and taught cell biomechanics, bioreactors, and biomaterials. Her expertise spans tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and biomedical device development.

Her research focuses on evaluating bioreactor performance for tissue engineering, specifically analyzing mechanical stimulation environments for cell growth and construct development. She also investigates biomedical implant characterization to establish quality control criteria for manufacturing and clinical translation, integrating biomaterials science, 3D tissue modeling, and advanced imaging techniques like microcomputed tomography.

Publications from 2005-2016 reveal consistent innovation in scaffold design, bioreactor technology, and tissue construct assessment. Key contributions include methods for real-time mechanical property monitoring, scaffold interconnectivity analysis using supercritical CO2 foaming, and ultrasound-based post-processing techniques to enhance fluid transport in polymer scaffolds.

Dr Reinwald received the Robert Brown Early Stage Investigator Award from the Tissue and Cell Engineering Society in 2016.
