Leanne Fisher

I currently work on two projects: i) immune-instructive polymers that act to reduce the foreign body response and ii) the development of a gut-on-a-chip model with a microbiome element to assess the risk of biomaterials upon barrier integrity. I also have experience and interests in designing and developing antimicrobial/anti-fouling surfaces to prevent microbial attachment and subsequent biofilm development with specific reference to the prevention of medical device related infections.
