A/Prof Hala Zreiqat

A/Prof Zreiqat is a National Health and Medical Research Fellow and Head of the Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials Research Unit in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Sydney. She specialises in developing engineered biomaterials for skeletal tissue applications, such as synthetic grafts for bone regeneration, and in investigating their effect on in vitro and in vivo osteogenesis.

A/Prof Zreiqat’s lab aims at developing novel prosthetic devices and scaffolds for skeletal tissue regeneration; gaining greater understanding of bone/cartilage and endothelial cells biology when in contact with engineered biomaterials; and in turn providing therapeutic targets for the treatment of skeletal disorders. She is the Founder and current Chair of Sydney University’s Tissue Engineering Network (2006), and the co-founder (2002) of the Sydney Bone Group – collaboration between clinicians and researchers across hospitals and universities in Sydney.
