Regenerative Biomaterials and Theranostics Laboratory

Research Projects

The Regenerative Biomaterials and Theranostics Laboratory develops clinically translation-ready biomaterials and nanomedicines. Our projects span image-guided bone implants, cancer theranostics, cellular scaffolds, and antimicrobial formulations, with grants from key national funding agencies.

Research in the lab ranges from fundamental materials design to applications validated through animal models and regulated translation.

Early Osteogenic, X-ray visible, and 3D Printable Fixators for diabetic Orthopedic and Craniomaxillofacial repair with Tunable Biodegradability, Modulus and High Bone Regenerative Index

orthopedic osteogenesis 3d-printing radiopaque ongoing

Development of early-osteogenic, intrinsically radiopaque bone fixators engineered for diabetic orthopedic and craniomaxillofacial repair. The fixatives couple tunable biodegradability and mechanical modulus with a high bone-regenerative index, and are processable by 3D printing for patient-matched geometries.
