Dr Chris Roche – 3D Bioprinting of Heart Tissue Research

St Andrew’s College Main Building as seen from the corner of Missenden Road and Carillon Avenue, Camperdown.

We extend a sincere congratulations to our teaching fellow, Dr Chris Roche, who has had a review article published in the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. The article looks at 3D bioprinting of heart tissue to try and replace damaged heart muscle.

Chris is a PhD student/surgeon and is available for tutorials and mentoring at the College. He says, “St Andrew’s has really supported me over the past year. Academic work is always a big team effort and programmes like the Drew’s academic tutorials and mentoring create a rich environment of academic support. Watch this space for a similar article written by a current St Andrew’s student coming out in a couple of months…”
