Róisín M. Owens is a Professor of Bioelectronics in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge. Her research program is focused on harnessing power engineering to develop in vitro biological models. She is particularly interested in using electroactive materials and devices to bridge the gap between rigid transducers and soft biological tissues, allowing for new insights into biological systems in a biomimetic manner. Her research portfolio includes basic understanding of the interface between biological materials and transducers, the development of integrated 3D models with fluidics and electronics, and using 3D in vitro systems to investigate specific questions related to human pathology. Róisín has received multiple awards including the European Research Council starting grant and the Suffrage Science Award in 2019. She has served as a scientific editor for Materials Horizons and has authored over 80 publications in the field. She obtained her BA in Natural Sciences from Trinity College Dublin and her PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Southampton University, afterwards undertaking postdoctoral fellowships at Cornell University.
