Brief description on the major research interests
나노생체재료 연구실에서는 생체적합성 고분자를 이용한 유전자전달, 약물전달 그리고 조직공학의 세가지 분야를 연구하고 있습니다. 유전자전달분야에서는 발현효율을 향상시키기 위한 나노크기의 전달체를 연구하고 약물전달분야에서는 효율적인 항암제 전달을 위한 나노파티클, 다기능성 약물 전달 위한 나노로드 및 나노 조영제 개발, 경구용 마이크로 스피어를 연구합니다. 또한 조직공학분야에서는 성장인자 내포 나노섬유 및 하이드로젤, 줄기세포분화 위한 동축 나노섬유 제작, 유전자 전달 위한 나노섬유 표면 개질 기술을 연구.
Our research is focusing on gene delivery, drug delivery and tissue engineering using biocompatible polymers. We design nano-scale carriers for nucleic acid delivery, nano-particles for anti-cancer drug delivery, multifunctional nano-rods for drug delivery and imaging at the same time, and microspheres as imaging agents. We also study about wound healing with growth factor containing nanofibrous mesh and hydrogel, nano-scale structures for stem cell differentiation, and surface modification of nanofibrous mesh for increasing drug incorporation efficiency.
