About Me
I am a biomedical engineer who is interested in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
My previous work mainly involved biomaterials such as hydrogels.
With a multidisciplinary background, I also carried out experiments about fermentation engineering and finite element analysis as well.
My current project focused on the early fate determination of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and the immunomodulatory properties and quality control of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
