RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Our research interests lie at the intersection of biomaterials, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. We focus on one central question: “How can we tailor material properties to achieve specific biological responses in a highly efficient and well-regulated manner?” Research in our lab aims to develop new biomaterials through polymer topology engineering in a bioinspired manner(e.g., dynamic particle shape, dynamic network structure, and desired molecular geometry). We will demonstrate their unique biological functions through applications in hemorrhage control, tissue engineering, and cartilage penetration. The ultimate goal is to translate them from bench to bedside to improve the lives of patients.
