About Us

Research Goals

• Our laboratory aims at convergence science-based regenerative medicine using a multi-disciplinary approach including stem cell engineering and tissue engineering-related techniques.

•  In addition, our lab is attempting new research on the enhanced therapeutic effect of stem cell using various cell types (primary cells and stem cells (ESCs, iPSCs, and MSCs etc.) and biomaterials based on a new bio-inspired and cell microenvironment-related concept.

Research Topics

• Enhancement of self-renewal ability and differentiation potential of ESCs, iPSCs and MSCs

• Development of novel-system and -platform of stem cell culture with cellular microenvironment and biomaterial from bio-inspired or -mimicked concept

• Development of biomaterials for stem cell therapy

• Immunomodulation, Drug delivery, Hydrogel modulation, Animal modeling etc.

Research Sub-groups

• Group 1. Functionally-improved stem cells

• Group 2. Stem cell-derived exosome

• Group 3. Biomaterial for the enhancement of stem cell differentiation and self-renewal

• Group 4. Drug-repositioning
