Biography

Min Lee, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Section of Biomaterials Science in the Division of Advanced Prosthodontics at the UCLA School of Dentistry. His primary research area is to design and fabricate biomimetic polymer systems for tissue regeneration and drug delivery applications, particularly focusing on orthobiologics, customized scaffolds, injectable hydrogels, and controlled release.

Research Intrest

"Research in the Lee group focuses on the development of biomimetic polymer systems for tissue regeneration and drug delivery applications. His research interests are: i) Customized biomimetic scaffolds. Dr. Lee is developing a novel computer-designed, biomimetic scaffolding system to maximize bone regeneration. This system consists of three-dimensional polymer scaffolds with well-defined geometries on the macro- and micro-scales created from a printing technique in conjunction with biomimetic processing strategy to confer bone mineral-mimicking apatite microenvironment and osteogenic signaling molecules."
