Rate My Professor Niki Hazelton

Hazelton is a co-author on several peer-reviewed publications demonstrating her direct involvement in cutting-edge research. Notable works include 'Uncovering mitotic ultrastructure in the native hair follicle using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy' (Journal of Cell Science, 2026), where she handled data curation and methodology; 'Beyond the surface: Investigation of tumorsphere morphology using volume electron microscopy' (Journal of Structural Biology, 2023); 'Nanocellulose Source and Morphology Impact on Properties of Composite Gelatin Hydrogel Scaffolds' (Tissue Engineering Part A, 2025); and 'Investigating the internal structure of sheep wool hair fibre using new microscopic techniques' (2025). She has also been acknowledged for SEM support in diverse projects, such as the impact of post-polymerization methods on dental crowns (2025), mechanical properties of additively manufactured dental models (2025), stability of optical properties in multi-shade dental resins (2025), antibacterial synergy between phage endolysin and citric acid (2024), DJK-5 anti-biofilm peptide studies (2025), prolonged post-washing effects on bond strength (2024), and polishing systems on yttria-stabilized zirconia (2023). Through these contributions, Hazelton facilitates advancements in understanding cellular structures, biomaterial performance, microbial biofilms, and tissue scaffolds, supporting the broader scientific community at the University of Otago.
