ABOUT US
The goal of the Kelly Lab is to develop novel tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting strategies to regenerate damaged and diseased musculoskeletal tissues such as articular cartilage, meniscus and bone. Professor Daniel Kelly holds the Chair of Tissue Engineering at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). He is the recipient of five European Research Council awards (Starter grant 2010; Consolidator grant 2015; Proof of Concept grant 2017, 2023; Advanced grant 2021), which have led to the development of new single stage strategies for bone and cartilage repair and pioneering innovations in 3D (bio)printing for the regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues. He was elected a fellow of Trinity College Dublin in 2010 and was promoted to his current chair in 2017. Notable recognitions of Prof Kelly’s academic work include being awarded the 2012 Perren Award by the European Society of Biomechanics, the Science Foundation Ireland Industry Partnership Award in 2019, the Silver Medal of Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland (Bioengineering Section) in 2022 and the mid-term career award from the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International (TERMIS) EU society in 2023. Prof Kelly is also one of the founding Principal Investigators of the Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research (AMBER) centre, a Science Foundation Ireland funded centre that links leading researchers in materials science and bioengineering with industry (https://ambercentre.ie/).
