Regenerative Engineering & Materials cluster at Biomedical Engineering Department

We integrate biological, chemical, and microfluidic technologies to robustly interrogate, characterize and manipulate cellular activities. We collaborate cross-disciplinary researchers to develop methods that solve pressing unmet research and medical needs. We enjoy making the design and hands-on development of microfluidic devices from scratch.

Our mission

We address major technological challenges in the functional analysis of biological systems and cell-biomaterial interactions for regenerative medicine using microfluidic systems. Our experimental efforts efficiently produce multiparameter datasets from key biological models that pave the way for advanced analytical methods.

Research lines at BDL

Key technologies

Biosensor-coupled microdevices for high-content screening
Microfluidic systems to study cell-biomaterial interactions
Small-scale soft materials to quantitatively study biological systems
Ogan-on-chip platforms for personalized medicine
