Dr Jamie Marland

My research focuses on the development of miniature bioelectronic interfaces for applications in synthetic biology and biomedical engineering. I lead a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary research group in these areas at the Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems (IMNS) within the School of Engineering.

Recent work developed a miniature implantable oxygen sensor, which has been extensively tested in vivo for its potential use in cancer radiotherapy treatment and for post-operative tissue monitoring. Currently, a UoE/NHS consortium is further developing this sensor with the aim of clinical application.

We also have a strong interest in the technology that supports synthetic biological biosensor systems. Specifically, we are developing an electrochemical platform, designed to enable multi-channel data readouts from cell-free systems.
