Abstract: Biomedical engineering is to implement engineering principles to solve biological and medical problems. On the other hand, as a bioengineer, we also benefit from the knowledge of biology and medicine. My research program is focused on applying what we learned from biology and medicine to the design and fabrication of bio-inspired biomaterials to improve the implant devices performance to better treat the patients. The presentation will include our work in enabling technology for bone regeneration, the nanotechnology for implant devices, and naturally based biomaterials for cancer treatment.

报告人简介：

Yang “Peter” Yang, Ph.D., is assistant professor in the HoustonBiomaterialsResearchCenter, Department of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials in The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. He earned his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from SichuanUniversity in Chengdu, China in 1997 and has completed two postdoctoral fellowships, first in China in 1999, then in the Department of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2003. Most recently, he was an assistant professor and director of the Biomaterial Engineering Solutions Laboratory at the University of Tennessee’s School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging, and he has maintained an appointment as an adjunct assistant professor there. Dr. Yang is also adjunct Assistant Professor with the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University and program faculty member with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.

Yang’s research interests are in the field of bio-inspired biomaterials, including enabling technology for regenerative medicine, nanotechnology for implant devices, and naturally-based biomaterials for cancer treatment. His publications include 60 peer-reviewed journal papers, 9 book chapters, 18 peer-reviewed proceeding papers, and 120 conference abstracts.
