Aline’s research is focused on high quality science and its translation for human health. A key aim is to understand the underlying physics of self-assembling systems and apply such knowledge to design innovative materials for use within medical therapy, tissue regeneration and diagnostic fields.

One significant achievement of Aline’s team is the development of a patented platform technology for the design of biomaterials which is now being commercialised through her spin-out company. Subject to clinical trials, this technology could treat 475,000 patients worldwide and reduce public health costs of £4.7 billion. “She is firmly on track to translate her research into the clinic where it will make a transformative difference to people’s lives” says Professor Mike Sutcliffe, Head of the Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science School.
