- Internationally cooperative research related to a Research Exchange visit to Bradford, by Xiaxia Jue, student (now associate professor) of Prof Liqun Zhang, BUCT, as part of our EPSRC Science Bridges China programme also involving Sheffield University. We developed electrospun biodegradable polymer nanofibre membranes for guided tissue regeneration/guided bone regeneration, successfully incorporating local drug delivery to prevent infection (the main cause of failure of implants), and demonstrated its success in vitro and in vivo. This research helped promote the establishment of a Joint International Laboratory for Soft Materials Technology with BUCT in Dec 2016.
