معرفی
Dr. Sung Mun Lee is an Associate Professor at Khalifa University's Department of Biomedical Engineering. His work focuses on strategic design of drug delivery systems, development of novel biomaterials for nanomedicine, and targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS) in inflammatory diseases.
- Education:
- Ph.D. from Texas A&M University
- M.Sc. from Seoul National University
- B.S. from Korea University
Research interests span ROS scavenging for diabetes and atherosclerosis, siRNA delivery to Kupffer cells in acute liver failure, nanoparticle engineering for protein protection, and targeted therapies for macrophages. His recent publications highlight interdisciplinary work in cancer therapy, oxidative stress diagnostics, organ-on-a-chip modeling, and bioprinting of functional tissues.
Current projects include:
- Zein nanoparticles for oral therapeutic protein delivery
- Monocyte-based ROS scavenging systems for atherosclerosis
- Polyketal microparticles for siRNA delivery in acute liver failure
- Conductive MXene-gold bioinks for skeletal muscle engineering
Dr. Lee teaches Biomedical Engineering Fundamentals (BMED351) and Biotransport Phenomena (BMED331), and leads research groups at the Healthcare Engineering Innovation Group and Center for Biotechnology Research.
