6. 내용요약 :
The need for improvement of global health and future medicine is emerging in several biomedical engineering researches such as diagnostics, therapeutics, and healthcare. Diagnostics can provide earlier detection of diseases for technologies and strategies of disease treatment and prevention [1]. Therapeutics is strongly related to effective delivery of targeted drugs and genes, allowing gene and cell therapies for clinical applications [2]. The improvement and investment of healthcare plays a critical role in making high qualities of human life, enabling future regenerative medicines such as tissue and organ regenerations [3]. In this seminar, Dr. Lee will present his PhD and Postdoc studies on development of enabling technology platforms for diagnostics, therapeutics, and regenerative medicine. Dr. Lee will specify key examples of the latest achievements such as optofluidic and microfluidic platform applications for cell-based diagnostics and therapeutics. Dr. Lee will also discuss his recent progresses in microscale tissue and stem cell engineering for regenerative medicine.&nbsp; It is anticipated that this seminar can help researchers to conceive a new idea of future platform technologies for practical applications in the field.
