Research Areas & Focuses
Loughborough University has extensive expertise in biofilm research, with a strong track record of funded projects, securing grant funding from the EPSRC and NBIC for biofilm-related projects in recent years.
Their research focuses on the following key areas:
- Bio-inspired slippery antibiofilm surfaces: Developing innovative surfaces that prevent biofilm formation.
- Multiscale biofilm mechanics: Understanding and tackling biofilms at different scales to improve removal strategies.
- Multiscale biofilm imaging: Utilising advanced techniques to visualise biofilms in detail across different scales.
- Biofilm modeling: Creating computational models to predict and optimize biofilm control strategies.
- Developing novel antibacterials: To irradicate and combat formation of biofilms.
- Developing rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests.
