Dr. Hongjun Wang
Wang's primary research interests focus on 3D Tissue Reconstruction, Biomaterials Design, Regenerative Engineering, and Nanomedicine. Ongoing research activities include creation of hierarchical cardiovascular and musculoskeletal tissues using various bottom-up engineering strategies, guided differentiation of stem cells via modulation of the microenvironment, and design and fabrication of versatile nanostructures as theranostic agents for pathophysiologic applications.
Dr. Jounghyun Helen Lee
Dr. Lee is a materials engineer focused on biomedical problems. She has extensive experience in microfabrication, lithography, microscopy, spectroscopy, and most importantly microfluidics for biological applications, in addition to cellular molecular biology techniques. Her research interests are on (1) development and commercialization of microscale tools for biomedical science of limited resources (such as rare cells, patient samples etc.); (2) micro- and nano-scale fabrication of biological systems for cell-cell and cell-matrix signaling and for engineering of immune systems; and (3)tissue formation and their complex interactions with biomaterials, drugs, cytokines, and pathogens in physiologically relevant microenvironments. She is also highly motivated in communicating with non-technical audiences and mentoring students.
