Early life and education

Cameron completed her PhD in physics at the University of Cambridge.[1]

Research and career

Cameron's research considers materials which interact therapeutically with the body.[2] She is interested in musculoskeletal repair.[3][4] Her research considers bioactive biodegradable composites, biodegradable polymers, tissue engineered scaffold and surface patterning.[1] Cameron works with Serena Best on collagen scaffolds for the spin-out company Orthomimetics.[5][6]

In 1993 she joined the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge.[7] Since 2006 she has co-led the Cambridge Centre for Medical Materials with Serena Best.[7][8] The co-management makes Cameron and Best the first Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council fellowship to job share.[9][8] She was a founder member of the Pfizer Institute for Pharmaceutical Materials Science. She is a Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge.[10]
