Timothy O'Shea is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University. He completed his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and holds Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from Queensland University of Technology. His research focuses on developing innovative treatments for brain and spinal cord disorders by engineering glia to perform reparative functions. O'Shea is particularly interested in how glial cells respond to injury and disease, utilizing animal models to create and refine bioengineering tools that can effectively regulate glial functions. His lab works with biomaterials that have specific physiochemical and biological properties and employs transgenic neural cell lines to investigate glia-biomaterial interactions. Current initiatives include strategies to restore neural functions after injury, improving neural implants, and advancing drug delivery approaches. He is affiliated with several grants at Boston Medical Center and engages in collaborative research projects targeted at enhancing spinal cord injury recovery.
