Yvonne Reinwald

Senior Lecturer

School of Science & Technology

Role

Dr Yvonne Reinwald is Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering.

Career overview

Prior to joining NTU Dr Yvonne Reinwald worked at the Institute for Science and Technology at Keele University, where she carried out research in regenerative medicine. She also taught cell biomechanics, bioreactors and biomaterials in tissue engineering.

In 2016, Dr Reinwald was awarded Robert Brown Early Stage Investigator Award of the Tissue and Cell Engineering Society in 2016.

Research areas

Dr Reinwald’s research focuses on the evaluation of the performance of bioreactors for tissue engineering and clinical application by investigating the growth environment that cells and cell-constructs are exposed to during mechanical stimulation.

She also has an interest in characterisation of biomedical implants for the assessment of quality control criteria aiding manufacture and clinical translation.
