The biointerface is created when biomolecules, proteins, and viruses, or cells touches solid surfaces such as inorganic, synthetic polymer, or bio-inspired materials. The aim of our study on biointerface science is to understand and control the behavior of such biological objects on the surfaces. We are developing the highly functional medical devices for artificial organ, for medical diagnosis, for regeneration medicine by design of the biointerface.

Subjects of Reseach

Development of biocompatible biointerface based on bioinspired materials for applications in biodevices
Development of highly sensitive immunoassay and cell separation device by use of polymeric microfiber
Development of block copolymers and hydrogels investigate the cell-material interaction
