Research Interest:
Focusing on the key scientific issues of "how to promote tissue damage repair and regeneration", the applicant has carried out a series of basic and clinical transformation research related to the improvement of tissue repair with biomaterials by using new engineering technologies and methods. The construction of artificial blood vessels with guiding structure solves the bottleneck problem of "pseudo natural regeneration of blood vessels in vivo". A new method was established and developed to accurately control the topological pore structure of extracellular matrix materials and effectively promote the in situ regeneration of oriented tissues. An in situ antibacterial hemostatic and regenerative multichannel sponge material was developed. Neural catheter products are undergoing clinical transformation.
