Welcome to our lab! 

Our laboratory focuses on advancing biofabrication technologies to engineer physiologically relevant in vitro platforms for biomedical applications. Centered on bioprinting, we develop 3D functional tissues that recapitulate key pathological features of human diseases and enable systematic drug screening and therapeutic evaluation.

Building upon our expertise in bioprinting and tissue engineering, we are expanding our research toward the development of advanced hydrogel-based biomaterials. We design and synthesize functional hydrogels with tunable mechanical and chemical properties, including electrical conductivity, robust tissue adhesion, and rapid photo-crosslinking. By engineering functional biomaterials, we aim to create next-generation hydrogels and implantable biomaterials that actively interact with cells and tissues.

Our research integrates principles from mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, chemical engineering, and biotechnology to advance the field of biomedical engineering. We welcome motivated researchers who are passionate about interdisciplinary science and eager to contribute to the development of next-generation bioengineered platforms for healthcare and regenerative medicine.
