Research Intrest

Micro/NanoBiomaterials, including novel nanobiomaterials development, bioactive bone cement fabrication and evaluations, Scaffold materials development, development of novel tissuesr eplacement materials from natural materials in sea. Celland tissues nano/micro biomechanics in human diseases, including development of novel micro/nano mechanical characterization techniques for biomaterials and tissues, investigation of cell&tissue biomechanics during the progression of certain diseases,e.g. corneal biomechanics in glaucoma, cell mechanics of cancer (Leakumia cells, Oral cancer cells, etc.), biomechanics of individual collagen fibrils in osteoarthritis; with the purpose to provide fundamental understanding of diseases to help in clinical treatment and development of new diagnosis techniques for various diseases. Micro/nano mechanical characterization and fabrication techniques, including depth-sensing indentation, AFM nanoindentation, optical tweezers, micro/nano fabrication techniques based on SPMs.
