Research Fields

I’m interested in fabricating human cells or tissues-derived hydrogel scaffolds with the desired micro- and macroscopic structures, investigating the biomaterials-immune cells interactions for reducing immune elimination and rejection of biomaterials in skin and kindey allograft applications, developing materials-based techniques to control stem cells differentiation to participate in wound healing and cartilage regeneration. Besides, I’m also interested in developing bio-responsive micro/nano-gel as cytokine carrier for cancer immunotherapy or autoimmune disease therapy.
