Expertise
Our lab design and engineer biodegradable or biological derive materials to enhance the cross-talks of cells and matrix. The designed microenvironment should promote cell migration and proliferation, and guide the differentiation of stem cells. The key research topics are listed: ♦Costumed-design of Biomaterials Surface modification of biomaterials to enhance cell and extracellular matrix interaction. Antibody and peptides conjugated nanoparticles as biosensors and drug delivery vehicles for cancer therapy ♦Stem Cell and Tissue engineering Cell encapsulation and 3D culture. Biological microbubbles for cardiac and stem cells
