Research thrusts

We develop manufacturing-enabled tissue and organ-on-a-chip platforms with perfusable, biomimetic internal architectures that enable more human-relevant disease models, drug testing, and, in the long term, scalable implantable tissues.
We develop painless microneedle arrays for high-efficiency delivery of biologics (including nucleic-acid and DNA-origami–enabled) and minimally invasive sampling, combining precision microfabrication with translation-ready materials, geometry-controlled insertion, and scalable manufacturing.

Translational medical devices & integrated platforms

We turn promising device concepts into deployable clinical platforms by co-designing manufacturing, system integration, and workflow from day one, engineering for repeatability, usability, and verification/validation readiness.

Biointegrated systems

We build biointegrated devices that interface with the body for continuous sensing and closed-loop therapy, emphasizing soft/stretchable mechanics, robust integration, and strategies that enable reliable long-term operation in biological environments.

Advanced manufacturing & precision engineering

We advance micro- and mesoscale fabrication through mechanical micromachining, micromolding, laser micromachining, and other microfabrication processes, along with metrology—making precision manufacturing more predictable, controllable, and scalable across challenging materials and geometries.

Porous materials & electrodes

We develop painless microneedle arrays for high-efficiency delivery of biologics (including nucleic-acid and DNA-origami–enabled) and minimally invasive sampling, combining precision microfabrication with translation-ready materials, geometry-controlled insertion, and scalable manufacturing.
