The Biomaterials Research Center conducts research on biomaterials for the replacement or regeneration of human tissues and organs, and biomedical engineering technology for application in disease prevention and treatment.

In terms of research field, the organization of this center is basically composed of an alternative research team and a regenerative research team.

The Replacement research team is working on the development of biomaterials by chemical/physical surface modifications, organic/inorganic materials for sensitive diagnosis and advanced therapy, biodegradable materials for dental and orthopedic applications. Specially, researches (or biomaterials) include drug-eluting stent (DES), biodegradable stents, implantable polymeric biomaterials, biofunctional injectable hydrogels, artificial blood vessels, biodegradable medical devices, wearable or implantable bioelectronic devices, cryo-FIB/SEM/TEM analysis, and analysis of interfaces of materials-biosystems, and so on.

The Regeneration research team is investigating regenerative biomaterials, and drug delivery for tissue regeneration. Specially, they are carrying out the development of functional scaffolds for regenerating tissues/organs/large-size blood vessels, osteochondral composites, peptide-gel for nano-healing, 3D stem cell mass for angiogenesis, macromolecular matrix for cell microenvironment control, growth factor delivery microcapsule, temperature-sensitive implantable hydrogels, protein delivery system, and gene delivery system.
