Ruth Cameron is a Professor of Materials Science in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy and together with Serena Best directs the Cambridge Centre for Medical Materials.
Her research in regenerative medicine concerns medical materials that will interact therapeutically with the body, which may have bioactive structures that encourage repair and regeneration, provide tailored mechanical support, or release drugs at a controlled rate. Research themes include structures for stents, ice templated scaffolds, biodegradable and bioactive polymers, composites and active surface design.
