Biomaterials and Bio-interface lab, we focus on understanding how biomaterials' physicochemical properties regulate cellular functions and tissue regeneration. From these basic fundamental understandings, we design, modify and fabricate functional biomaterials to regenerate tissue and treat pathological diseases. Our multidisciplinary approaches also help us develop stimuli-responsive and biomimetic materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering application.

Advances in biomaterials and biofabrication further provide a platform for developing complex biological tissue and organ models to understand pathological diseases in 3D in-vivo mimicking conditions. Related to biomaterials and biofabrication our lab also conducts research on developing 3D tissue, tumor spheroid, and organoid models for tissue engineering, drug screening, and clinical treatment approaches.

Blood-materials interaction is very important parameter for the success of the implantable medical device. Our lab also works on understanding the interaction of materials with blood proteins, blood cells, and platelets, which help in developing hemocompatible material for medical device applications.

Failure of the medical device due to microbial infection is a significant problem. To resolve microbial infection related problems our lab focuses on developing coatings and modifying materials to attenuate microbial infection on the implantable medical device.
