Biography

Ivan Wall is currently working in Department of Biochemical Engineering University College London Torrington Place London WC1E 7JE UK. Ivan Wall is a Lecturer in Cell Therapy Bioprocessing at University College London, having taken up the post in April 2009. His current research aims to address the need to develop novel cell-based therapies to treat the growing number of disorders that are accompanying increased life expectancy across the globe. He graduated from Cardiff University with a degree in Anatomical Science and subsequently completed Masters and Doctoral degrees at Cardiff University Medical School in Cell and Molecular Biology of wound repair and regeneration under the guidance of Professors Phil Stephens and David Thomas. He then undertook postdoctoral positions, firstly at UCL Eastman Dental Institute (Nov 2005 – Sept 2007) studying wound repair and regeneration and human adult stem cells, and then at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology (Oct 2007 – Mar 2009) studying developmental neuroangiogenesis before taking up his current post. Ivan was also appointed a visiting professor at Dankook University (DKU) in South Korea in Sept 2010 and has strong collaborative links there in the field of bone tissue engineering. Ivan’s research interests focus on the therapeutic potential of human cells for treating a range of diseases, particularly those that become increasingly prevalent in later life that affect neurological, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems.
