Dr Daniel Heath, recruiting PhD students
@DrDanielHeath
Biomaterials at University of Melbourne. Views are my own. Be kind. 🏳️🌈
The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Melbourne is hiring a professor for a new Chair of Circular Economy. Please share with your network and anyone who may be interested in the position. jobs.unimelb.edu.au/caw/en/job/918…
Last call for applications to join our team as a senior postdoc! You will develop hydrogels for direct laser writing and apply them for some cool cell studies. The role also involves some teaching and mentoring. Applications close 12th Jan careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/…
Applications are still open to join our team as a senior postdoc to develop new hydrogels for direct laser writing and apply them to study cell mechanics. Also an opportunity for mentoring in teaching and leadership. Applications due 12/1/25 careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...
One more paper snuck out online before the end of the year. Investigation of the role of ECM and EVs in MSC expansion in Cell and Tissue Research @ctr_springer link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s…
2024 has been my best year of research, with 15 manuscript accepted and new sponsorship from the Heart Foundation. This success was only possible because of my great collaborators, brilliant students, and supportive community. Thank you and looking forward to a great 2025!
My first foray into ceramic biomaterials has been a fun one. We created hierarchically porous and 3D printed scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Work now out in @BiomaterialsAdv Thank you to great co-authors Shareen Chan and George Franks doi.org/10.1016/j.bioa…
Nice article in the guardian about alternative publishing frameworks, their benefits, and the challenges to their adoption. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Excited to share recent work on the development of osteon-mimetic surfaces for bone tissue engineering via a new collaborations with researchers @UniMelb and @RMIT . Thank you for getting me involved! @UnimelbBME @ElsevierMS @ASBTE1 @ExtracellMatrix doi.org/10.1016/j.surf…
Big congrats to all the recipients of DPs and Ideas grants!
Having a great time at today’s ASBTE Vic Research Showcase. Always fun to meet students and learn what they’re working on. @ASBTE1
Thrilled to be at the Graeme Clark Oration 2024 presented by Bob Langer from MIT! @GCOration

Really excited to have helped developed the new 3D printing technology - Dynamic Interface Printing - recently published in @Nature This powerful new biofabrication tool overcomes many 3D printing limitations by using an air-liquid interface doi.org/10.1038/s41586…
