Connor Sherwood is a postdoctoral research scientist working as part of the Surgical Innovations Unit at Westmead Hospital. His current research priority is developing cutting-edge ex vivo models of how cancer tissue interacts with blood vessels. He is also involved in biobanking and biomarker discovery programs being run by the Surgical Innovations Unit.

Connor's previous research focused on establishing cultures of neurons on organic electronic materials, and studying the structural and functional interactions between these materials and co-cultured neurons. He brings this tissue culture biology experience to his role with the Surgical Innovations Unit.
