EDUCATION/TRAINING

A.   Personal Statement

My research focuses on biomaterials and 3D bioprinting, in particular 3D bioprinting and bone tissue engineering and regeneration. I have published 20 peer-reviewed papers in high-quality international journals and two book chapters, including ACS Applied Materials & interfaces、Advanced HealthcareMaterials. I have been granted several grants from notable research foundations, including the Natural Science Foundation of China, the Shanghai Municipal Natural Science Foundation, the Shanghai Outstanding Leaders Project, the Medical Science Project of Guangdong Province and the Natural Science Foundation of Shenzhen. As an important research member, I was involved in a National High Technology Research and Development Program of China (863 program). I am also a reviewer for several journals including the Journal of Materials Chemistry B, RSC Advances.
