Profile
Dr. Aiqin Liu graduated from Southwest Jiaotong University China receiving her Master’s degree in Biomaterials. She came to UK to study a PhD in artificial joint replacements in University of Leeds in 2008. Her project was “Determination of the biological response to and cellular uptake mechanisms of nanometre-sized UHMWPE wear particles from total hip replacements”. After successfully obtained her PhD degree in 2012, she started to work as a research fellow in the area of tribological simulation of natural knee. In 2015, she received a Postgraduate Certificate in Innovation Management from University of Leeds Business School, which established her knowledge in management of the commercialisation of medical device from pre-clinical research.
Research interests
- Tribological simulation of natural knee joints and total joint replacements
- Preclinical testing of cartilage substitution therapies and meniscal repair interventions for early degenerative disease in the knee
