Our research goal is to understand and address the central questions: (1) how cells coordinate responses to combination of signaling cues in multicellular environments; (2) how bio/nanomaterials assemble and break in dynamically controlled fluid flow; and (3) how biological systems interact with nanomaterials.

To answer the questions, we develop microscale devices and systems that (i) reconstitute dynamically regulated biological functions and (ii) facilitate the assembly of bio/nanomaterials. We use experimental and computational approaches to build biomimetic systems that integrate bioengineering and nanotechnology in multiscale platforms.
