Karl's research looks at proteins associated with the dystrophin complex and he is also interested in growth and regeneration of muscle tissue.

The development of novel functionalised biomaterials, microencapsulation & transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC’s) to promote angiogenesis in ischemic animal models and translation of research to clinical practise in treatment of ischemic diseases.

Sandra's research focuses on non-viral gene delivery to the vasculature using a polymer/stent delivery platform.

Mikhail's research is looking into novel therapeutic approaches for the induction of tolerance in cornea transplantation.
