He has focused his research interests on improving the translational research and regenerative medicine mainly through the understanding of Stem Cells and Developmental Biology and Biologically inspired Engineering.
Given the rapid pace of developments within the pluripotent stem cell field, it is likely that the generation of safe and effective derivatives for use in cell therapy will be achieved in the near future. These cells also provide fascinating possibilities for the study of disease models, tissue engineering, drug discovery and developmental biology.
He has been working on pluripotency mechanism and germ cell biology and differentiation into cardiomyocytes, neural cells and hepatocytes in cross-disciplinary collaborations by biology, engineering, and medical researchers. He has also been making numerous contributions to clinical trials and tissue-specific stem cell transplantation, as well as developing cell manufacturing.
