We are dedicated to research fields involving immune cell therapy, stem cell engineering, cell micro-environment, cellular electrophysiology, biomaterials, nanotechnology for theranostics, cell therapy and regenerative medicine.
Brief descriptions of the specific research areas are as follows:
- To study the influence of mechanical forces on gene expression by changing nuclear mechanics and epigenetics with applications in cancer, stem cells, and immune responses.
- To identify and to understand the niche factors that govern stem cells fate, and drive them towards osteoblastic and/or chondrogenic lineages for tissue repair.
- To study ion channels in reproductive, airway and bone health and diseases, and in particular the development of ion channels into molecular targets for biomedical engineering approaches in the diagnosis/treatment of related human diseases.
- To develop microscale and nanoscale technologies with the ultimate goal of generating tissue-engineered organs and controlling cell behaviors for addressing clinical problems.
- To develop precision theranostics technique capable of imaging, drug delivery and therapy in single platform, enabling precision diagnostics and therapy for various diseases.
- To develop innovative immune cell therapies and stem cell engineering techniques such as T-cell engineering, checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell development, immune system modulation
