By merging mechanics, chemistry and biology, we invent and design biointerfacing (hybrid) materials with tunable mechanical, structural, chemical, electrical, biological, acoustic, optical properties, and high-level control of their biointeractions on diverse biological tissues.
Representative work:
We develope robust and versatile strategies to engineer multifunctional medical devices for customizable disease management, including but not limited to infection prevention, wound monitoring, controlled drug delivery, immunomodulation, and bioimaging.
Representative work:
We decode how mechanical forces sculpt pathological tissue states and engineer dynamic biointerfaces that reprogram these forces to drive regeneration.
Representative work:
By leveraging both experiment and theory, we decipher the interfacial mechanics of diverse biological and synthetic materials to inform the design of next-generation hybrid living materials and surgical instruments.
