About Research Group

Our Research group devoted to contribute the field of environment and biomaterials through the study and development based on natural polymers. This multidisciplinary area expertise in engineering, life sciences and clinical medicine to understand the body's own biomaterials, the cellular machinery by which the biomaterials are assembled and degraded, and how the dynamic microscale interactions of these components influence tissue physiology.
