Mission Statement

We aim to develop and engineer functional biomaterials to solve clinical-relevant problems. Our main ares of interest are biodegradable elastic polymers and functional/smart biomaterials development, stem cell engineering, tissue repair & regeneration, medical devices and drug delivery, with emphasis on cardiovascular system and women and children healthcare.

Position Available

We are currently hiring one postdoc/Research Scientist and two PhD students working on 1) synthetic biodegradable materials, and 2) decellularized biological materials, as advanced scaffolds for tissue regeneration through molecular design and additive manufacture. We welcome highly motivated and intelligent students with backgrounds in bioengineering, materials science& engineering (polymer), chemical synthesis, and cell biology or other relevant to apply. The students’ salary and tuition will be covered by NIH or NSF grants. The applicants, please, directly email Dr. Hong with cover letter, CV and contact information of at least three references.
