The award recognizes the outstanding contributions of researchers to understanding the interaction of manmade materials with human tissue, focusing on theoretical concepts, developing new materials or studying the interactions of a bacteria in a biological environment.
Professor Stevens and her group are designing biomaterials for regenerative medicine and bio-sensing. This includes developing innovative bone, cartilage, nerve and heart tissues. In the future, these could be used as replacements for damaged tissue in the body, helping patients to heal more rapidly.
