Welcome to our lab!

Our laboratory develops next-generation biofabrication technologies by integrating 3D printing, biomaterials, biomechanics, bioelectronics, and artificial intelligence.

At the core of our research is 3D Printing-assisted Biofabrication & Biomanufacturing. We use micro- and nano-scale printing technologies to engineer functional tissues, implantable regenerative constructs, mini-organs, and organ-on-a-chip platforms that reproduce key features of native human tissues.

We further investigate how mechanical and electrical microenvironments regulate cell and tissue behavior. By recreating physiologically relevant shear, stretch, compression, and electrical stimulation, we develop advanced bioreactor systems for tissue maturation, disease modeling, and large-scale cell and tissue culture.

Beyond tissue fabrication, we translate printing technologies into therapeutic and diagnostic medical devices, including microneedles for drug delivery, printed bioelectronics for tissue stimulation, and biosensors for monitoring biological signals.

More recently, we are expanding toward AI-assisted inverse design, where artificial intelligence is used to determine optimal tissue architectures and material properties from desired biological functions. Our current interests include vascular network design and tissue-specific mechanical property optimization for customized tissue-engineered constructs.
