Research

Research overview

• Our research focuses on the development of bio-hybrid devices that replicate the tissue microenvironment by integrating biological and functional materials through advanced microfabrication and 3D printing technologies.

• These devices allow us to gain insights into biological responses under both physiological and pathological conditions, as well as to regenerate or restore the damaged functions of cells, tissues, or organs.

Organ-on-a-Chip
(Microfluidic chip-based human tissue modeling)

We develop Microphysiological Systems, commonly known as organs-on-chips, which replicate the physiological structure and function of human tissue barriers within a microfluidic platform. These microfluidic models are used to quantify the 3D distribution of therapeutics at cellular and tissue levels and to investigate underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. 

3D Printing of Bioelectronics

We leverage 3D printing technology to fabricate electronic devices for biomedical applications. Our focus is on designing flexible, biocompatible, and functional 3D printed electronic devices for biosensors, optoelectronic devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Bio-Hybrid Devices

We create in vitro tissue models that serve as reliable preclinical tools for the implantation of bioelectronic devices. By combining microfabrication and 3D printing technologies, we interweave biological and electronic materials to engineer implantable microengineered devices capable of regenerating, restoring, and regulating biological functions.
