Research Interest

Designing and developing bio-inspired biomaterials for implant devices, tissue regeneration, and cancer treatment. Our research lies at the interfaces of fundamental material science, biology, clinical applications at the macro-, micro- and nano- scale level, where basic understanding of biology inspires the development of novel biomaterials for medical applications. We believe quality work depends on idea, passion and perseverance. The students and postdoc fellows who join our group will have opportunities to learn from and work with engineers, biologists and clinicians.
