About Me

I am a biomedical engineer specialized in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
My work mainly involved biomaterials such as hydrogels. With a multidisciplinary background, I also carried out experiments about finite element analysis and biomanufacturing as well. Currently, I focused on early fate determination of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and the immunomodulatory properties and quality control of mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs).
