Research

The research of Prof. Jianyu Li's group is interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on the interface between Mechanics, Materials and Biomedical Engineering. The core of our research is biomaterial innovation for enabling technologies and therapies to improve health. We synergize principles of mechanics, chemistry, physics, biomimetics and biology to develop novel materials and technologies for broad applications in engineering and medicine, including wearable devices, tissue repair, regenerative medicine, cell therapy and hemostats. 

Our research contains the following research themes

Our lab has many exciting ongoing research projects:
