Dr Wael Kafienah leads a team focused on understanding the molecular biology of stem cells for applications in skeletal tissue engineering. He has many years of experience in the UK and US developing methods for cartilage tissue engineering using stem cells. That work lead to significant public (see BBC news story “New hope for arthritis sufferers”) and scientific interest (Arthritis and Rheumatism Journal) and earned him the prestigious Garrod Prize 2008 awarded by the British Society of Rheumatology. The team is building on this work by investigating the more versatile pluripotent stem cells. Dr Kafienah holds 3 patents that resulted recently in a University of Bristol spin-out company (Azellon Cell Therapeutics). He was an executive committee member of the British Society for Matrix Biology.
