BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR
Abstract:
Microenvironment of cells is the key to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The microenvironment of a cell consists of not only its surrounding cells and soluble factors, but also its extracellular matrix (ECM) or external biomaterials. This lecture will review the main factors to influence biomaterial-related cell microenvironment. Some complicated material cues to regulate cell adhesion, migration and differentiation have been decoupled using a unique surface patterning technique developed in this research group; and thus the material technique and some corresponding science stories about argues of cell-material interactions in the world will be further told. The last part will introduce a case about a nanocoated medical device from bench to beside in cooperation among university, hospital and company for nearly 20 years, guided by the fundamental research of cell-material interactions in this group and clinically translated in China, Europe and other regions.
Bio:
Dr. Jiandong DING is a Distinguished Professor of Biomaterials and Polymer Science at Fudan University, and the Director of State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers. He obtained his BS, MS and Ph.D. in School of Life Sciences, Department of Materials Science, and Department of Macromolecular Science, respectively, at the same University (Fudan University), and did his postdoctor research at University of Cambridge, UK. He is the leading scientist of a national research and development program about biomedical materials in China. He serves as the Executive Associate Editor of the journal Regenerative Biomaterials. His research group is for tissue regeneration materials, drug delivery carriers, and cell-material interactions. His work won the "First-Place Prize of Natural Science Research" from the State Ministry of Education of China, and the "First-Place Prize of Science and Technology Advancement" from Shanghai government. A group of patents regarding medical hydrogels was awarded as Gold Medal in Inventions Geneva. His impact is from bench to bedside, and a series of advanced medical materials have been or are being translated. In 2016, he was elected as Fellow, International Union of Societies of Biomaterials Science and Engineering for “the development of cell responsive biomaterials for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and drug delivery”.
