| Description | |
Xuejun Wen, M.D., Ph.D., William H. Goodwin Endowed Chair Professor, Department of Chemical and Life Science Engineering, VCU School of Engineering, will present a seminar entitled "Establishing a Collaborative Open Research Environment in the Institute for Engineering and Medicine." The first part of the presentation will summarize major research activities before Dr. Wen moved his team to VCU. These activities include developing clinically applicable strategies for tissue and organ regeneration. The specific areas cover novel biopolymer syntheses/nanostructured biomaterials development, scaffold design and fabrication, stem cell biology and engineering, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, in vitro and in vivo models for translational research, and proteomics, genomics, biosensors, and biomedical imaging. The second part of the talk will focus on future plans to establish open labs for regenerative medicine, stem cell engineering, biofabrication, nanomaterials, cancer targeting and experimental therapy, drug delivery, high throughput drug screening, and anti-infection technologies. This lab will open to the whole VCU community, including engineering, science, medical school, and dental school. The future plan is to establish a Virginia Institute of Regenerative Medicine and a VCU Center for Tissue Biofabrication.
