Lee Research Group focuses on converging biomaterials, advanced manufacturing, and biomedical applications.
Our primary goal is to utilize micro/macro 3D printing techniques to develop bioelectronic systems for healthcare monitoring and personalized microneedles for systemic drug delivery.
As an initial step, we are developing multi-functional 3D printable bioinks by integrating biocompatible/degradable materials, such as silk fibroin, with electrical conductivity for applications in biosensing and biomedical fields.
Subsequently, we aim to create 3D printed bioelectronics, including 2D strain motion sensors and micro-porous 3D pressure sensors, which are capable of monitoring physiological parameters, thereby contributing to advancements in health monitoring systems.
Moreover, we are designing and fabricating personalized microneedles tailored to individual patient needs to enhance the precision and efficacy of drug administration and delivery.
Our interdisciplinary approach integrates mechanical engineering principles with biomedical applications, striving to develop innovative solutions that address current challenges in healthcare technology.
