| Description: |
The BTE research group exploits biomimetic principles and developmentally inspired
strategies using nature as a guide to rationally design and develop materials and
devices to address pressing problems in medicine and biology. The BTE research thrusts
include the fundamental and practical aspects in the development of biomaterials and
medical devices for stem cell delivery, tissue regeneration, cancer therapy, and protein
delivery. Specifically, the BTE research thrusts include the development of multicellular
tissue models to understand the effect of physicochemical, biomechanical, and cellular
factors in the microenvironment on tissue organization and maintenance. |
