Biomedical Polymers
Our research focuses on the development and application of biomedical polymers, which are materials designed to interact with biological systems for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. We explore the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of these polymers to enhance their biocompatibility and efficacy. Our goal is to create innovative materials that can be used in a variety of medical applications, including implants, wound healing, and bioadhesive systems. Specifically, we are enhancing the adhesive properties of these polymers to improve their performance in medical devices and tissue engineering applications, ensuring they adhere effectively to biological tissues and deliver targeted therapeutic effects.
Tissue Engineering
In the field of tissue engineering, our work is dedicated to developing advanced scaffolds and biomaterials to support the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues and organs. We investigate various fabrication techniques, such as 3D printing and electrospinning, to create structures that mimic the natural extracellular matrix. By combining these scaffolds with growth factors, we aim to facilitate the growth of functional tissues that can restore normal biological functions.
Drug Delivery Systems
Our research in drug delivery focuses on designing and optimizing delivery systems that can improve the targeting and release of therapeutic agents. We explore various nanocarriers, such as polymeric nanoparticles, to enhance the stability and bioavailability of drugs. Our goal is to develop systems that can deliver drugs more effectively to specific sites in the body, minimizing side effects and improving patient outcomes.
Other Fun Projects
Our laboratory primarily focuses on foundational and applied research in the biomedical field, but we also expand into other disciplines when intriguing ideas arise. For example, we are conducting projects in various areas such as food printing, wildfire prevention, and pest control in agriculture by leveraging naturally derived polymers. These exploratory projects are driven by the creativity and innovative spirit of our team members, and they are always welcomed and encouraged.
