Hydrogels are flexible materials composed of a three-dimensional cross-linked network of hydrophilic polymers and water. In addition to jelly and agar, cells, extracellular matrix (ECM), and biological tissues in our body can also be called gels in a broad sense. In my research group, we focus on the surface/interface of hydrogels. By understanding and controlling the physicochemical phenomena occurring at the surface/interface of hydrogels, we would like to elucidate unknown biological phenomena, realize engineering mimicry, and create functional biomaterials that will contribute to next-generation medical and biological field.
With a high level of expertise as a foundation, I hope to pioneer new knowledge by steadily and step by step filling in the missing links between different fields.
In Preparation.
