Dr Daly is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Galway. His research focuses on bioprinting tissue and organ models with advanced physiological structure and function. In particular, this work focuses on developing bioprinting technologies inspired by organogenesis. Dr Daly was awarded a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Trinity College Dublin in 2018, where he developed bioprinted implants for joint resurfacing. For this work, he was awarded the Engineers Ireland Biomedical Engineering Research Medal in 2018. Following this, he moved to the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania for his postdoctoral training. In 2020, he was awarded an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship to develop bioprinted cardiac disease models for screening of miRNA therapeutics. In January 2021, he started his research group at the University of Galway and in 2022 he was awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant. Dr Dalys research is highly cited and has been published in the top journals in the field, including Nature Communications, Nature Reviews Materials, Cell, Biomaterials, Advanced Science, Acta Biomaterialia, Advanced Healthcare Materials, and Biofabrication. To date, he has has received over 2.4 million in research funding.

Research OverviewOur work focuses on developing enabling technologies fororgan bioprinting. In particular, we create developmentally inspired bioprinting approaches leveraging embryonic processes such asstem cell condensation and tissue fusion. We are currently developing dynamic hydrogels that can program and scale these fundamental behaviours to engineerorgans with advanced structural and functional properties.Example Public - No restrictionationsBioprinted Tissue Modelsa target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:www.nature.comarticless41467-021-21029-2https:www.nature.comarticless41467-021-21029-2 a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS009286742031624Xhttps:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS009286742031624X Granular Hydrogelsa target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:onlinelibrary.wiley.comdoifull10.1002advs.201801076https:onlinelibrary.wiley.comdoifull10.1002advs.201801076 a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:www.nature.comarticless41578-019-0148-6https:www.nature.comarticless41578-019-0148-6 a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS1742706120306383https:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS1742706120306383 Cartilage and Bone Bioprintinga target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS0142961218308639https:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS0142961218308639 a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:iopscience.iop.orgarticle10.10881758-509084045002metahttps:iopscience.iop.orgarticle10.10881758-509084045002meta a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:onlinelibrary.wiley.comdoiabs10.1002adhm.201600182https:onlinelibrary.wiley.comdoiabs10.1002adhm.201600182 a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:onlinelibrary.wiley.comdoiabs10.1002adhm.201700298https:onlinelibrary.wiley.comdoiabs10.1002adhm.201700298 a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS0142961218300772https:www.sciencedirect.comsciencearticleabspiiS0142961218300772
