My research focuses on the development of advanced biomaterials and medical devices using cutting-edge additive manufacturing and laser-based processing techniques. My team is a pioneer in the use of two-photon polymerization for fabricating microscale and nanoscale medical devices, including tissue engineering scaffolds, microneedles, and complex three-dimensional medically relevant microstructures. We have developed solid and hollow microneedle systems for transdermal drug delivery and biosensing, with demonstrated applications in infectious disease treatment and point-of-care diagnostics. My research also integrates electrochemical biosensors and machine learning with 3D-printed microneedle arrays to enable real-time monitoring of drugs and clinically relevant biomarkers. In addition, my group is evaluating novel biocompatible and bio-based photoinitiators for two-photon polymerization and vat polymerization-based additive manufacturing.
