We design biomaterials backwards — from the function we want to the molecule.
We fix the property we want first, then work backwards to the composition that gives it — a model proposes, the bench makes and measures, and the answer comes back as data for the next round.
Nature is where the target functions come from: a catalogue of problems already solved. Reverse design is how we get there. Biomaterials are what we make.
We work in regenerative medicine (bone, soft tissue, skin), in scent and VOC capture, and in adhesion, coatings and flame retardancy. Different materials, one method.
If you are interested in what we do, we warmly welcome your application to our lab.
International students are welcome to apply; however, proficiency in Korean for smooth day-to-day communication is required.
