معرفی
Dr. Wei Tan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Colorado, specializing in cardiovascular bioengineering and BioMEMS. His research focuses on the intersection of nano-materials, material mechanics, and vascular medicine, aiming to improve understanding of how biomaterial properties influence vascular remodeling and regeneration. Key societal impacts include developing novel therapies for cardiovascular diseases, which remain the leading global cause of death.
Dr. Tan's laboratory employs advanced techniques such as 3D bio-stereolithography and high-throughput screening to engineer vascular grafts and biomaterials. Recent work includes creating nanofibrous coatings to enhance implant performance and exploring exosome-based therapies for vascular repair. His studies on mechanotransduction and inflammatory pathways have advanced the field of vascular mechanobiology.
Selected publications highlight innovations in vascular graft design, thrombogenicity assessment, and herbal medicine's role in vascular inflammation. Though no specific awards are listed, his contributions to regenerative medicine and bioengineering are evident through his prolific research output. Advising activities are not detailed here, but his work emphasizes translational applications with potential clinical impact.
