Seoul National University
BioMaterials for Immuno-Engineering
We develop biomaterial-based approaches to monitor and control immune system
to deepen our understanding and to treat immune-related diseases.
Research INTERESTS
In our laboratory,
We strive to solve fundamental problems in immunology and immunotherapy by developing novel biomaterials.
In particular, we are interested in cancer immunohterapy, a groundbreaking approach to treat cancer.

Biomaterials for cancer immunotherapy
- Biomaterials controlling immune cell functions
- Immune-responsive biomaterials

Ex vivo model systems mimicking tumor-immune microenvironment
Reconstruction of 3D tumor-immune microenvironments using microfabrication

Micro-engineered platforms for the study of immune cell communications
Monitoring tumor-immune interactions using biomaterial-based sensors and live cell imaging
