Rate My Professor Jonny Blaker

Blaker's research specializes in bio-inspired hierarchical composite materials and advanced materials derived from synthetic biology, with a focus on applications in regenerative medicine, including hierarchical fibre scaffolds, nanofibres produced via solution blow spinning such as silks from synthetic biology, bio-inks for 3D printing and biofabrication, and electrically conductive materials for peripheral nerve repair. His group explores bioactive medical materials, mask-less digital photolithography for 3D patterning, and shape-morphing composites. Blaker has produced 97 research outputs, including highly influential publications such as 'Biodegradable and bioactive porous polymer/inorganic composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering' (Biomaterials, 2006), 'Structure, morphology and thermal characteristics of banana nano fibers obtained by steam explosion' (Bioresource Technology, 2011), 'Piezoelectric materials as stimulatory biomedical materials and scaffolds for bone repair' (Acta Biomaterialia, 2018), 'Bioactive composite materials for tissue engineering scaffolds' (Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2005), and 'Development and characterisation of silver-doped bioactive glass-coated sutures for tissue engineering and wound healing applications' (Biomaterials, 2004). His work has amassed over 14,000 citations, underscoring his impact in biomaterials, tissue engineering, and composites.
