Yang Cao is interested in the design and fabrication of three-dimensional scaffolds, surface modification of scaffolds, controlled release of growth factors, as well as in vitro and in vivo examination of the interaction between scaffolds and regenerating tissues. Currently she is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Queensland, where she is working on tissue engineering of vascular grafts and meniscus.

Tristan Croll graduated in chemical engineering from the University of Queensland in 2001 and is now on the verge of submitting his Ph.D. thesis, on surface modification of biodegradable polymeric scaffolds, to the University of Melbourne. He hopes to stay within the tissue engineering field for the foreseeable future.

Justin Lees is undertaking his Ph.D. studies on the growth of human embryonic stem cells on three-dimensional scaffolds. He was the recipient of the ‘Home Wilkinson Lowry – Diabetes Stem Cell Research Scholarship’.

Bernie Tuch is the Director of the Diabetes Transplant Unit at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney and Professor of Medicine at the University of New South Wales. He is an endocrinologist on the forefront of developing cell therapies, including embryonic and adult stem cells, for type 1 diabetes. He is also Director of the New South Wales Stem Cell Network.
