What do we do at BIREL?

Research at BIREL focuses on the design and fabrication of functional and biomimetic biomaterials,  controlled release systems as well as wearable/implantable biosensors to be utilized for tissue regeneration. Regenerative engineering laden by stem/progenitor cell recruitment and utilization of Extracellular Matrix scaffolds for tissue/organ regeneration are also investigated at BIREL.

BIREL'S Research Interests:

  • Biomaterials synthesis, development, and processing
  • Biomaterials and tissue characterization
    • using mechanical and physical (biomechanical, rheological, thermal, aucistic), optical and radiation(optical, radiological, spectroscopic), structural and surface (micrsocopy, XRD, hydrophilicity, etc) techniques
  • Cell isolation, culture, and performance analysis
    • Differentiation, ECM synthesis, gene expression
  • Tissue repair, healing and regeneration
    • Wound healing/regeneration (war wounds), Orthopaedic (joints, interfaces), cardiac (patches), lung (alveolar-capillary junction)
  • Wearable and implantable biosensors for disease or repair/healing/regeneration detection
  • Tissue/Organ-on-a-chip (osteochondral, lung, kidney)
  • Biological microgravity
