We study biocompatible and biodegradable polymers ranging from natural polymer to synthetic polymer. Surface modification of implant materials is essential to prevent inflammation by creating antifouling, antibacterial, and anti-coagulative surfaces of medical devices. We also conduct research into highly elastic biodegradable polymer, which is applied to biocompatible 2D and 3D scaffolds.

We develop various micro and nano structures using biocompatible polymers. Ultra thin porous membranes with nano- and micron-size pores, nano fibers, and hydrogel 3D structures have been realized using electrospinning machine and 3D printer etc. We control cell behaviors using developed micro- and nano-structures.

We study tissue regeneration and disease treatment by engineering novel platforms. We develop bio-organ (vessel, bone/cartilage, skin, etc.) based on bioactive biomaterials aiming at customized long-term available bio-organs. We also develop tissue regeneration technology using hydrogel derived from dECM.
