Welcome to the Multiscale Translational Biomedical Science Laboratory @SKKU !
At MTBS Lab, we integrate tissue engineering, organ on a chip systems, microfluidics, and 3D (bio)printing to pioneer the next generation of translational biomedical platforms. Our research bridges the gap between cellular microenvironments and clinical applications, aiming to uncover new insights into human physiology and disease.
