For latest project she has 3D-printed a beating heart; her next step is to make a version that uses human stem cells.
In making her art, she helps develop new understanding and techniques, that could be used by researchers in the future.
Amy was born with a rare condition that left her with missing skin on her scalp and she went through multiple surgeries as a child. This experience has inspired her artwork.
