Dr Jia Heng TEOH

Dr. Jia Heng Teoh is currently a Research Fellow under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Hortense Le Ferrand in the Urban Bio-Cycles Mycelium Digitalisation research module at the Future Cities Laboratory Global programme.

His research interest lies in the additive manufacturing of soft materials incorporated with living cells and/or therapeutic agents for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Currently, he is working on the application of 3D printing for the fabrication of mycelium composites. His previous research during his Ph.D. at the National University of Singapore involved an investigation into 3D printing principles and strategies to facilitate the treatment of thermal burns through skin grafts and wound dressings.

Research Interests
