Brief Biography
Tina Chowdhury is a Senior Lecturer in Regenerative Medicine. She was awarded a Drapers Fellowship (2014-17), the Queen Mary ADEPT Senior Fellowship (2018) and is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (2018). Tina's work in developing education and outreach innovations has been recognised by the Times Higher Education (2014), Reimagine Education (2016), Royal Academy of Engineering (2018, 2022), Story Futures Academy (2021). She chairs the SEMS EDI Steering Group and EDI Committee particularly focusing on STEAMM diversity. In 2024, Tina championed a successful Athena Swan application in engineering under her leadership .
Tina is leading research projects with a value of £4.5M. She has published 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals and presented 100 abstracts at national and international conferences. Her work in regenerative medicine aims to identify therapeutics that slow down inflammation and repair tissue using human in vitro models. Tina is Chief Investigator for a clinical trial (NCT06340971) investigating how the environment affects pregnancy outcomes and preterm birth (REC 24/EE/0047) in collaboration with Anna David at UCLH NHS Trust (classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT06340971?term=NCT06340971&draw=1&rank=1).
