Dr Kynan Lawlor
Dr Kynan Lawlor's research is focussed on developing advanced cell-based therapies for kidney disease. His work spans fundamental developmental biology, bioengineering and computational methods, and aims to develop robust, novel approaches to generate and assess functional kidney tissue. He leads a team of biologists and engineers, integrating cutting edge experimental methods with high-throughput data analysis, including transcriptomics, quantitative image analysis, and machine learning.
Dr Lawlor is a Senior Research Officer in the Kidney Regeneration group at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, and an Associate Investigator with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine, reNEW. He completed his PhD at the University of Adelaide and postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania before joining the MCRI Kidney Regeneration Group.
