研究介绍

Research Interest

Our research focus on developing advanced dynamic biomaterials mimicking extracellular matrix to understand how cells interact with their environment and to gain insight into the manipulating mechanism of cell functions.

In the current stage, we are particularly interested on two topics:

(1) Molecular tools for cellular mechanosensing.

One of the central challenges in cellular mechanotransduction is the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that enable cells to modulate their mechanical responses and to sense and actively direct the biophysical properties of the ECM. To elucidate these fundamental mechanisms, cellular mechanotransduction should be studied at molecular levels. We develop molecular tools that can apply or detect forces at individual receptors within readily formed cell-ECM or cell-cell contacts.

(2) Synthetic yet 'living' biomaterials with active, adaptive and autonomous properties.

We established ways to emulate “living” properties within synthetic chemical frameworks through non-equilibrium chemical reaction networks with energy dissipation, kinetic control and feedback loops.

Welcome undergrads and graduate students with different backgrounds to join the group. We are recruiting POSTDOCs (with organic chemistry, polymer chemistry or biomaterials background). Feel free to contact the PI.
