Among the three pillars of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine, we focus on signals and scaffolds and try to integrate the two to create innovative implant devices, which locally act on host cells to induce regeneration.

• Development of methods precisely controlling 3D shape of biomaterials
• Optimization of regenerative signals with novel monitoring systems and screening of signaling factors
• Integration of biomaterials with signaling factors for high performance

Integration of life science and materials science
