Bio

Dr. Hung Pang Lee (Patrick) is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University. His research focuses on smart biomaterials, mechanobiology, and advanced biofabrication, with over nine years of experience leading innovation in polymer chemistry, additive manufacturing, stem cell engineering, and 3D bioprinting. He has published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers, accumulated over 700 citations, and holds an h-index of 11.

Dr. Lee completed his Ph.D. at Texas A&M University, where he developed NIR-triggered in situ gelation systems, bioelectronic hydrogels, and dynamic covalent injectable hydrogels for drug and stem cell delivery. He later continued postdoctoral training at Stanford Bioengineering, advancing hydrogel design to probe mechanobiology in 3D and pioneering anisotropic microgel printing for vascularized bone fabrication.

Building on interdisciplinary expertise and international training, Dr. Lee leads a research lab at NTHU integrating smart biomaterials, immuno-mechanobiology, and 3D bioprinting to create transformative solutions for tissue repair, aging, and disease modeling
