Welcome to the D. H. Kim Laboratory

Our research spans the disciplinary boundaries between biomechanics, nanotechnology, and cell biology with an emphasis on their applications to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Using BioMEMS and nanofabrication-based tools in combination with molecular and cell biology approaches, we focus on the development and applications of biomimetic cell culture models and bioinspired tissue engineering constructs for drug discovery, stem cell-based therapies, disease diagnostics, and medical device development. The ultimate goal of our research is to better understand complex cellular behavior in response to microenvironmental cues in normal, aging and disease states, to gain new mechanistic insights into the control of cell-tissue structure and function, and to develop multiscale regenerative technologies for improving human health.
