Our mission is to decode the physical language of life to engineer cellular trajectories and the future regenerative medicine.
우리는 생명의 물리적 암호를 해독(Decoding)하여, 세포의 운명과 재생의 궤적을 새롭게 설계(Engineering)합니다.
We precisely analyze the mechanisms of mechanotransduction, through which cells perceive and respond to physical cues in their microenvironments.
세포가 주변의 물리적 인자를 인식하고 반응하는 기계적 신호전달 메커니즘을 정밀하게 분석합니다.
We develop advanced 3D in vitro platforms that precisely recapitulate the complex and dynamic environments of human organs and tissues using biomimetic engineering.
생체 모방 첨단 바이오기술을 통해 실제 장기 및 조직의 복잡한 동적 환경을 정밀하게 재현하는 3차원 in vitro 플랫폼을 구축합니다.
Based on our decoded physical language, we propose next-generation mechanotherapy strategies to control disease trajectories and overcome the limitations of conventional treatments.
해독된 물리적 언어를 바탕으로 질병의 진행 궤적을 제어하고, 기존 치료의 한계를 극복하는 차세대 메카노테라피 전략을 제시합니다.
