معرفی
Dr. Bin Zhang serves as a Lecturer in Additive Manufacturing within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Brunel University London's College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. Her primary research focuses on developing advanced biomaterials and biofabrication techniques for tissue regeneration, drug delivery systems, and medical device innovation through 3D printing technologies.
Education:
- PhD in Bioengineering, University College London, UK
- MSc in Mechanical Engineering, University College London, UK
Her research integrates additive manufacturing with pharmaceutical sciences to create functional engineered tissues for wound healing, bone regeneration, and disease modeling. Key areas include 3D bioprinting of drug-loaded scaffolds, microneedle sensor fabrication, and computational modeling of tissue environments. She maintains active collaborations with institutions including UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State University.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2020-2024) reveals strong emphasis on pharmaceutical additive manufacturing (70% of works), with significant contributions to tissue engineering scaffolds (20%) and computational modeling (10%). Her work consistently bridges material science, drug delivery kinetics, and clinical applications, with increasing focus on AI integration in bioprinting processes since 2023.
Professional Affiliations:
- Member, Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Member, Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- Member, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Dr. Zhang actively supervises PhD students in additive manufacturing of medical devices and microrobots, while securing research funding including a Royal Society grant (2024-2026) for 3D printing gradient scaffolds for osteoarthritic joint repair. Her lab develops in vitro 3D joint models and collaborates with clinicians through projects like Xcell for microgravity tissue studies.
