Area of Specialization: Biomaterials
My work bridges biomaterials science and regenerative medicine, with a focus on designing responsive scaffold systems that actively engage with cellular processes. My research explores peptide-polymer conjugates to engineer dynamic biomaterials that degrade in response to cell-secreted proteases, enabling tissue-specific remodeling. I also develop platforms for the controlled delivery of angiogenic peptides, coupling therapeutic release with cell-mediated activity to enhance vascularization.
