I'm a researcher investigating mineralised biological tissues using various forms of #microscopy 🔬with complementary #spectroscopy and #crystallography. I'm interested in #bone and #osteocytes 🦴, #teeth 🦷, #biominerals 💎, #bacteria 🦠, #snails 🐌, #lichen 🌿, #trees 🌲, and more.
Follow me for posts about my research and news from the world of mineralised tissue #biology 🧬, #science 🧪, and nature 🦋

#NASA / #University of #Nebraska 📆 Jan 9, 2023 #Mars #habitat outfitting can be realized by insitu construction using #cyanobacteria 🦠 and #fungi 🍄 as building agents. Synthetic biology toolkits will be employed to create a synthetic #lichen🌱 system, composed of diazotrophic cyanobacteria and filamentous fungi, to produce abundant #biominerals (calcium carbonate) and #biopolymers, which will glue #Martian #regolith into consolidated building #blocks. These #selfgrowing building blocks can later be assembled into various #structures https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/niac/2023/Biomineralization_Enabled_Self_Growing_Building_Blocks/

I am Professor at the University of #York, United Kingdom working in #MaterialsScience on biological materials and #biominerals systems using #electronmicroscopy and #spectroscopy. I study #corals, #seashells, #bone and #teeth and #nanomaterials.
PhD at the University of #Hamburg and IST #Fraunhofer Institute in Braunschweig, did a #postdoc at the #technion in Israel, was reseach fellow at the University of #Bremen and Visiting Professor at the #University of #Illinois.
