معرفی
Weitong Chen is a Researcher affiliated with the Department of Small Animal Medicine & Surgery at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Their work focuses on biomaterials engineering, orthopedic research, and cancer-cell interactions, with a strong emphasis on developing advanced 3D-printed scaffolds and nano-hydroxyapatite coatings for biomedical applications. Chen has pioneered studies on intercellular communication between cancer cells and osteoblasts, as well as surface functionalization techniques for bone tissue engineering.
- Key Research Areas: Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering, Orthopedic Implants, Cancer Metastasis Mechanisms
- Techniques: 3D Printing, Dopamine-Mediated Coatings, In Vitro Models
Chen's recent work (2022-2025) explores novel scaffold designs for rapid cell adhesion and metastatic breast cancer interactions, while earlier studies (2015-2021) focused on optimizing hydroxyapatite coatings for enhanced osteointegration. Their research bridges fundamental material science with clinical applications in veterinary and human medicine.
