University of Texas at Arlington的Dr. Yi Hong到访实验室并做学术报告

　　应重点实验室徐福建教授课题组邀请, University of Texas at Arlington 的Dr. Yi Hong于2019年6月17日到访实验室并为我校师生作了题为《Synthetic Approaches to Soft and Elastic Materials in Biomedicine》的学术报告。

　　在此次报告中，Dr. Yi Hong主要介绍了利用生物材料组织修复和再生方法来治疗诸如肌肉和血管的软组织损伤和疾病。Dr. Yi Hong的精彩报告让老师和同学们更加深入的学习如何利用结构 - 性质 - 功能关系，通过合成生物材料的设计，开发和应用，寻求合适的生物材料用于软组织修复等科学问题。最后，在提问环节中Dr. Yi Hong和在座师生进行了交流互动。

　　Dr. Yi Hong简介：

　　Dr. Yi Hong is an Associate Professor in the Bioengineering Department at the University of Texas at Arlington. He achieved his PhD in Material Science and Engineering in 2005 at Zhejiang University. And then Dr. Hong worked as a postdoc and later as a Research Assistant Professor in the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine in the University of Pitt**urgh from 2006 to 2012. After joined UTA in 2012, his research focuses on developing functional and bioactive soft biomaterials and translational research for tissue repair and regeneration, drug delivery and bio-imaging applications with emphasis on cardiovascular disease treatment. He has published over 70 peer-review papers in the field of biomaterials, and applied/issued 11 patents as well as over 100 conference abstracts. He received many awards, such as AHA Beginning Grant-in-Aid award in 2014, NSF CAREER award in 2016, College of Engineering Outstanding Early Career Award (UTA) in 2018, and Junior Investigator Award from BMES ABioM-SIG (2018). He was elected as a Fellow of American Heart Association in 2017.
