Dr. Andrew Daly is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Galway, where he leads pioneering research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. His work focuses on developing advanced bioprinting technologies to engineer functional tissues for applications in cardiovascular medicine and beyond.

Dr. Daly’s research group explores how cell-material interactions can be harnessed to create biologically accurate and functional constructs that mimic the natural development of human tissues. One of his notable contributions is the development of a 4D bioprinting technique, which allows bioprinted tissues to undergo dynamic shape-morphing, mirroring processes seen during embryonic development. This innovative approach has been instrumental in addressing challenges like tissue maturation and functionality, especially in bioprinted heart tissue.
