The research directions of our laboratory focus on the following areas:
Research area 1: Polymeric biomaterials for medical applications
Polymeric biomaterials, derived from synthetic or natural polymers, have gained significant attention in medical applications due to their biocompatibility and functionality. Our group aims to develop natural or synthetic polymers, incorporating modification and drug-loading strategies to design functional hydrogels, microspheres, and fibrous membranes. These materials can serve as scaffolds for tissue regeneration, implants for minimally invasive surgeries, drug carriers, wound dressings, tissue adhesive materials, and more.
Research area 2: Bioceramic composites for medical uses 
Bioceramics have been extensively developed for drug and gene delivery systems, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and disease prevention and treatment. Our group aims to develop various bioceramics and their composite materials, including hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate, zeolite, and porous carbon materials, for a wide range of medical applications.
Research area 3: Synthetic and natural fibrous membranes for medical devices and energy applications
Polymeric and composite fibrous membranes are nonwoven mat structures composed of multiple microfibers or nanofibers. Their porous structure, interconnectivity, large surface area, ease of processing, tunable mechanical properties, and adjustable properties make them ideal for biomedical applications, such as artificial organs, tissue engineering scaffolds, drug-controlled release matrices, wound dressings, and wearable medical devices. Our group aims to utilize centrifugal spinning and electrospinning systems for the preparation of nonwoven fibrous membranes for broad applications in the medical and energy fields.
