Nature-inspired Biomaterials Engineering Laboratory
Our main research scope is to design nature-inspired adhesive materials via catechol or gallol redox chemistry.
We have focused on developing a variety of adhesive biomedical formulations exhibiting hemostatic effect,
minimally invasive, hemostatic medical devices as well as adhesion/affinity-based drug-delivery carriers based on
mussel-inspired catechol/its derivatives chemistry for wet-resistant adhesion.
We are interested in nervous, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal applications of the adhesive biomaterials.
The ultimate goal of our research is to design a new generation of biomaterial-based practical medical tools capable of
diagnosing and treating patients.​
