Nano-micro technology enabled biomedical applications
BIO-INTEGRATED “SMART” MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES AT NANO- AND MICRO-SCALES
The Nguyen group's research focuses on the science and technology to transform biodegradable and biocompatible materials (e.g surgical-suture polymers) into special forms/shapes/structures with “smart” functions at nano/micro-scales for diverse applications in vaccine/drug delivery, tissue regenerative engineering and electronic/electrical implants. The research is highly interdisciplinary and at the interface of biomaterials, nano/micro-technology, and medicine. Our work covers a wide range of scientific and engineering areas, including nano/micro-manufacturing, "smart" piezoelectric materials, bioelectronics, microfluidics, nanobiointerfaces, cell/tissue engineering, biomaterials and vaccine/drug delivery. We currently look for a postdoctoral researcher in the field of Drug/Vaccine delivery, Tissue Engineering (Bone/Cartilage Regeneration) and Biomaterials. We have opened positions for highly motivated PhD and undergraduate students from different backgrounds (immunology, cell biology, pharmacy, materials science, and biomedical/electrical/electronic/chemical/mechanical engineering) to join the research group.
