Research Interests
Tissue engineering and stem cell technology
Bioreactor technology for tissue culture and stem cell expansion: To develop membrane bioreactors for bulky tissue culture, for stem cell culture, and micro-bioreactor technology and to develop mathematical models of tissue culture bioreactors
Cryopreservation of stem cells and engineered tissue: To study the technology and underlining science in cryopreservation and vitrification to preserve living cells and engineered tissues to ensure the off-the-shelf availability to clinicians.
Tissue engineering monitoring: To develop micro membrane probes, nonlinear near infrared laser optical methods, and microsensors for the monitoring cell metabolism and functions tissue formation, and stem cell differentiation
