BA Bucknell, PhD New Jersey

Professor Walsh's research is at the interface between implanted materials and the connective tissues of the body as it relates to orthopaedic, plastic and reconstructive and vascular surgery.

This includes both autograft, allograft and synthetic biomaterials and understanding and improving these materials in areas of clinical need. Understanding the biology and biomechanics of connective tissues during healing, age and disease provide the foundation of Professor Walsh’s research interests. This involves research techniques from the macro to molecular level – all a part of his research at The University of New South Wales.

Professor Walsh is a Full Professor and Director of the Surgical and Orthopaedic Research Laboratories (SORL).
