    Biomedical

Research Expertise:
Biomaterials, metallo-elastomers, vascular grafts, cardiac patches, cardiovascular/musculoskeletal tissue engineering, regenerative medicine

The Chen Lab develops biodegradable and bioresponsive biomaterials for vascular grafts, cardiac patches, and regenerative medicine. We integrate polymer chemistry, advanced scaffold fabrication methods such as 3D printing and electrowriting, mechanobiology, cell-material interaction studies, and preclinical models to engineer next-generation cardiovascular therapies. Our research focuses on understanding how material composition, structure, and mechanical properties influence tissue repair and regeneration, with the goal of designing biomaterials that actively guide functional cardiovascular tissue formation.
