Intergrative Biomaterials Engineering Lab
Intergrative Biomaterials Engineering Lab은 다기능 바이오 폴리머와 nano- & micro- 구조, 약물 전달 및 바이오 센서와 같은 다양한 생체 의학 응용 분야에 혁신적이면서도 실용적인 미세 구조를 연구하고 있습니다. 우리의 목표를 실현하기 위해 우리는 화학, 물리학, 생화학, 재료 과학 및 공학의 원리를 포함하는 고도의 학제간 연구에 노력을 기울이고 있습니다. 우리는 우리 삶에 큰 영향을 미칠 수있는 획기적인 발견을 하고 차세대 과학자 및 엔지니어를 육성하는 것을 목표로합니다.
Our mission is to develop state-of-the-art biomaterials based on multi-functional biopolymers and nano- & micro-structures that are innovative and yet also practical for various biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and biosensors. To realize our goal, we are using highly interdisciplinary research efforts, encompassing the principles of chemistry, physics, biochemistry, materials science and engineering. We aim to achieve groundbreaking discoveries that can have a huge impact on our lives, and develop the next generation of scientists and engineers.
