Innovation in hydrogel chemistry & engineering for regenerative medicine

Welcome to the Lin Research Group in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University. The lab is located at Purdue’s Indianapolis campus, adjacent to Indiana University School of Medicine. ​We are part of the Purdue University academic system and are also affiliated with Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSCCC) and Indiana Center for Diabetes & Metabolic Diseases (CDMD). ​​

​Our research focuses on designing multifunctional polymeric biomaterials, particularly hydrogels, with spatiotemporally tunable physicochemical properties to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM). We are particularly interested in developing dynamic hydrogels to study cell-matrix interactions during stem cell differentiation and in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We have also developed several innovative hydrogel chemistries for fabricating unique hydrogels suitable for releasing therapeutically relevant agents, for delivering adult, stem, and progenitor cells, and for various biofabrication applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. ​
