Achivements/proposals via industry-academia collabolations

I suggest that understanding of cellular response to nanobiomaterial surfaces is crucial for successful biomedical applications such as tissue regeneration, integration, and bio-imaging (Figure 1). Based on academia-industry collaborations, our materials chemistry and surface-engineering technologies of nanobioceramics will successfully encourage and improve ”cell therapeutics” in our body (Figure 2).

Message

As for the other research topic, the synthesis of spherical nanobioceramics (calcium phosphate, titania, silica, etc.) are focused in our Lab. By constructing the synthetic techniques, the multi-coupling of functions (e.g., targeting, imaging) as well as anticancer drug therapies in a sufficient concentration on one nanosphere will be achieved towards both diagnosis and therapy systems.
