Lucy Di Silvio

Lucy Di Silvio is Professor of Tissue Engineering, based in the Centre of Oral, Clinical and Translational sciences at King’s College London.
Lucy’s research is focussed on high quality science based on the regeneration of tissues using stem cell technology and its translation and application for specific clinical problems related largely to oral, craniofacial and orthopaedics. Also, studying the biocompatibility of novel materials, 3D cell models (Bioreactor), and cell-material interactions are part of her research.
Lucy develops regenerative medicine strategies for musculoskeletal conditions relating to bone, articular cartilage damage and osteochondral defects e.g. cell-seeded scaffolds to direct differentiation of stem cells for in vivo bone and cartilage regeneration. Her research group's major focus is on vascularisation of grafts ex-vivo and their integration with host tissue.
