Professor Jayasinghe leads the work of the BioPhysics Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London. Jayasinghe has pioneered many works which have been internationally recognised through articles written about these in leading international society periodicals (American Chemical Societies – Chemical Engineering and News, American Institute of Physics Society’s – Physics Today to many others) and has been featured on international news media such as on the BBC, Associated Press, Bloomberg to Reuters to name a few. Jayasinghe has demonstrated the ability to print multi-material three-dimensional architectures without the use of supports, namely overhangs, to the ability to create 3D porous architectures. This work was awarded the Leonardo Da Vinci Gold Medal and the De Montfort Medal both presented to him at the Houses of Parliament in the United Kingdom. Subsequent he has pioneered and coined bio-platforms well-known as bio-eleectrosprays and cells electrospinning. These bio-platforms are the only technologies having the potential to directly handle multiple living cells in many permutations and combination to whole organisms for the controlled deposition and formation of three-dimensional functional tissues. These discoveries were recognised by the German Aerosol Society’s (The "Gesellschaft für Aerosolforschung e.V." (GAeF), prestigious award The Smoluchowski Award and The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), through the Professor Sir George Beilby FRS Medal and Price. At present these discoveries are being adopted in the clinic for tissue repair, replacement to rejuvenation, with particular focus on tissue regeneration in cases of bed soars to those demanding wound healing for venous diabetic ulcers.
