Research Interests
Professor Meenan’s research interests are directed toward the development of enhanced biomaterials for medical device applications with particular emphasis on promoting interactions on the sub-micron to nanometre scale for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Core projects include, studies of bioactive surfaces and reactions thereon; calcium phosphate thin film coatings; modification of polymer surfaces by atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD); control and medication of cell-surface interactions and the development of new methods for in situ biological process control in a bioreactor environment. Much recent emphasis has focused on the role of nanotechnology for enhancement of in vivo functionality of biomaterials and medical. Professor Meenan also has extensive experience of surface analytical techniques for biomaterial/medical device characterisation.
