Personal profile

Biography

Dannielle holds a B.Sc. in Molecular Biology from Cardiff University (2014), an M.Sc. in Stem Cells and Regeneration from the University of Bristol (2018), and a Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from the University of Surrey, completed in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory (2023). Her Ph.D. research focused on embedding electronics into multifunctional platforms for cellular interrogation and cardiac tissue regeneration.

After completing her Ph.D., Dannielle worked as a postdoctoral scientist at the University of Surrey, where she developed lab-on-a-chip measurement platforms. In 2024, she joined the University of East Anglia, focusing on the development of chemical-free physical surfaces to reduce biofilm formation, funded by the MRC IAA.

Recently, Dannielle received Innovate UK’s ICURe funding for market exploration and the Quadram Institute's Proof of Concept funding to advance the technology. Her research interests lie in the field of biology and engineering, drawing from her experience in academic, industrial, and clinical settings. Her multidisciplinary background enables her to integrate technology and biological sciences to address complex challenges.
