معرفی
Ying Mei is a Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Clemson University, specializing in biomaterials, tissue engineering, and cardiac organoid research. Her work focuses on developing hypoimmunogenic cardiac organoids for heart repair, nanomaterial-enhanced cardiac tissues, and biomaterials that modulate immune responses. She leads the Bio/nano-materials and Tissue Engineering Lab and holds a Ph.D. in Material Chemistry from the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (2003).
Her research integrates advanced materials science with regenerative medicine, addressing challenges in immune evasion, organoid maturation, and clinical translation of bioengineered tissues. Key areas include cardiac organoid design using transcriptomics, nanowire integration for enhanced cardiac function, and combinatorial polymer screening for optimal cell-material interactions.
Dr. Mei's work spans from fundamental studies of polymer surface chemistry to applied technologies like 3D bioprinting and genetic engineering of stem cells for therapeutic angiogenesis. Her lab develops both basic science insights and patentable technologies, such as bi-functional RGD peptides and semiconductor nanomaterials for cardiac applications.
Publications highlight her contributions to immune-compatible cardiac therapies, cytokine storm modeling, and high-throughput materials discovery. She maintains active collaborations in biomaterials, stem cell engineering, and cardiovascular medicine.
