My research focuses on exploring cell-microenvironment (cell-substrate and cell-cell) interactions by engineering physiologically relevant biomimetic platforms, therefore regulating cell behaviors and functions for understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. I have done multiple projects during my Ph.D. including: - Stiffness modulation of nanomaterials-induced fibrogenesis - Adhesion-based tumor cell capture using nanotopography (see publication) - Engineering microfluidic blood-brain barrier models (BBB) - Three-dimensional microfluidic tri-culture model of the bone marrow microenvironment (with publication)
