Dr Ciro Chiappini
Senior Lecturer in Nanomaterials and Biointerfaces
Biography
Dr Ciro Chiappini is Senior Lecturer in Nanomaterials and Biointerfaces. He joined King’s College London in 2016.
His research blends nanotechnology, bioengineering and cell biology to develop functional materials that direct cell behaviour.
Dr Chiappini was Marie Curie Fellow and Newton International Fellow at Imperial College London from 2011 until 2016, and holds a doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin.
In 2018 he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant. Dr Chiappini has authored more than 40 publications with over 3500 citations across material science and bioengineering and holds international patents.
Research
Centre for Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology
Our research goes beyond the mouth. If we understand how the entire face and head forms, we can repair damage and regenerate cells. If we unravel the causes of diseases, we can treat patients successfully. If we solve these problems, our discoveries will improve health worldwide.
Chiappini Lab
Nanotechnology, bioengineering and cell biology to develop functional materials that direct cell behaviour, for applications in regenerative and precision medicine.
Regenerative Biomaterials
Regenerative biomaterials are an essential component in developing advanced cell and gene therapies for tissue regeneration. The Centre for Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology is at the forefront of regenerative biomaterials discovery and translation, thanks to unique synergies arising from leading expertise in developmental biology, bioengineering and cell technologies.
London Metallomics Facility
London Metallomics Facility
Physiological Oxygen Laboratory
Cardiovascular - Physiological Oxygen Laboratory
Prenatal ThERapy for SIckle CelL disEaSe (PERICLES)
To generate new knowledge about stakeholders' views on prenatal therapy for Sickle Cell Disease, identify ethical issues and establish protocols for support.
Project status: Ongoing
Innovation for Safe and Sustainable Food, Nutrition and Health
This Research Interest Group on Innovation for Safe and Sustainable Food, Nutrition and Health provides a unique opportunity for the King’s research community to address the challenges of sustainable food development.
Spatial Biology Network
The Spatial Biology Network is a cross-faculty research interest group that brings together researchers from various disciplines, ranging from technology development and molecular biology, to bioinformatics and clinical translational research, to explore the complexity of spatial biology.
