Personal statement
Professor Will Wenmiao Shu is the Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Hay Chair in Biomedical Engineering at the 吃瓜tv (Glasgow). He obtained his PhD at the Engineering Department (specialised in Electrical Engineering and Nanoscience), University of Cambridge. Following his postdoctoral work at Cambridge University, he worked at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh's School of Engineering and Physical Sciences as a lecturer (2007-2012) and a Reader (2012-2016) of Biomedical Microenginering. His research interests cover a range of biomedical engineering topics including 3D biofabrication, bioprinting, biosensors, microsystems and their applications for regenerative medicine. He led the research to demonstrate the first bioprinting of (h-ESCs) and (h-iPSCs), paving the way for their applications on animal-free drug testing and .聽 He was one of the founding members (and now an emeritus member) of Royal Society of Edinburgh鈥檚 Young Academy and held a visiting position at Stanford University. He is an editorial board member for IOP and served as a board director of the International Society for Biofabrication (ISBF).聽
