Bin Duan, PhD

Dr. Duan received his PhD from the University of Hong Kong and his post-doc training in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University. He joined the University of Nebraska Medical Center in November 2015.

Dr. Duan’s lab focuses on the development of novel biomaterials and advanced biofabrication techniques. The research goal of Dr. Duan’s lab is to create multi-scale complexity within engineered tissues to understand the fundamentals of cell-material interactions and mimic the native tissues for tissue regeneration.

Research

Dr. Duan’s lab (Biomaterials, Biofabrication and Biointerface Lab) focuses on

  • Utilizing biofabrication techniques to fabricate scaffolds with tailored micro- and macroscopic structures for specific tissue regeneration;
  • Developing 3D tissue constructs/organoids to investigate the pathogenesis of diseased tissue and examining potential therapeutic remedies;
  • Investigating the interaction of stem cells with defined microenvironments and developing materials-based techniques to control stem cell differentiation.
