Biography

Dr. Zhang received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology (2013), M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis (2011), and B.Eng. in Biomedical Engineering at Southeast University in China (2008). He is currently a Faculty and Associate Bioengineer in the Division of Engineering in Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Zhang has a broad background in biomedical engineering, where his research is based on the investigation of multi-scale biomaterials and biotechnologies to develop functional tissues and organ models and their use in translational therapeutics. In particular, he is highly experienced in research areas related with biomedical and medical devices such as organs-on-chip, biosensing, and imaging, as well as 3D bioprinting, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and drug and cell delivery. He is a pioneer in the development of sensor-integrated multi-organ-on-a-chip platforms.

Biography

Huh's laboratory aims to develop innovative bioengineering tools and technologiesof biomedical, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications. using biologically inspired design principles and micro/nanoengineering approaches to improve human health and promote environmental sustainability. Huh's research focuses primarily on developing i) microengineered biomimetic models of human organs (organs-on-chips), ii) self-assembled tissue/organ scaffolds, iii) cell-based self-regulating "smart" biomedical devices, and iv) efficient biomimetic transport systems. The laboratory explores the use of these bioinspired engineering systems for a variety
