We are pleased to congratulate Amy Smith for winning the best poster prize at the annual University of Leeds School of Dentistry Research Day, held on 11 July 2018. Her poster "Light-Activated Antimicrobial Biomaterials" describes work undertaken as part of her doctoral project to demonstrate proof-of-concept for dental applications of PhotoTherix™, an electrospun antimicrobial-releasing tissue repair scaffold. Amy's CASE PhD project ("Tissue repair capacity of a Prototype Antimicrobial-Releasing Scaffold") is supervised by Dr Giuseppe Tronci and Dr Simon Wood from the School of Design and School of Dentistry respectively at the University of Leeds, and Professor Mike Raxworthy from Neotherix. Amy is a member of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine - Innovation in Medical and Biological Engineering  at the University of Leeds. |
