Research Interests
Precision Regenerative Medicine
Our lab is dedicated to advancing regenerative medicine by elucidating how cells construct and remodel their microenvironments in both health and disease. We focus on precisely directing donor cells and modulating host tissue responses to promote effective repair of injury, degeneration, and fibrosis—conditions responsible for nearly half of all deaths in developed countries. Through multidisciplinary approaches that integrate biomaterial engineering, microtechnology, and physical biology, we design instructive cellular niches at the single cell level, guide host tissue remodeling, and investigate the roles of extracellular vesicles and particles in regulating regeneration. Our research centers on vital organs including bone marrow, bone, craniofacial structures, vasculature, and lungs, aiming to translate fundamental
insights into innovative therapies that restore tissue function and improve patient outcomes.
