معرفی
Hongjun Wang is the George Meade Bond Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science, Stevens Institute of Technology. He holds dual appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and has served as Founding Department Chair and Director of the Schaefer Center for Healthcare Innovation.
- PhD: University of Twente (2003), Nankai University (1998)
- Postdoctoral Research: Harvard Medical School, Wellman Center (2003-2005)
His research spans 3D tissue reconstruction, biomaterials design, and nanomedicine, focusing on modular engineering strategies for cardiovascular and musculoskeletal tissues, microenvironment-guided stem cell differentiation, and theranostic nanostructures. Recent work includes vascularization techniques via sacrificial templates and immunomodulatory scaffolds.
Hongjun Wang's selected publications highlight innovations in tissue engineering, such as channeled scaffolds for vascularization (Bioactive Materials, 2022), oxygen-generating nanomaterials for cancer therapy (ACS Nano, 2022), and graphene oxide-encapsulated microfibers for neuronal network control (Advanced Materials, 2020). His research also extends to photothermal therapies and tumor microenvironment modulation.
