Biography

T.W. Chung is a researcher and deputy director of BERDC, NYCU, Taiwan, ROC. He received Ph.D. in Chemical and Materials Engineering from the University of Oklahoma. His researches are the focus on biomaterials and regenerative medicine. He grafted RGD and other ligands to biomaterials with varying nano-roughness for promoting the proliferation of various cells such as HUVEC and PC12 cells. He developed a silk fibroin-hyaluronic acid (SF/HA)/bone marrow stem cells (BMSC) cardiac patches for cardiac repairs. The hybrid patches were demonstrated by good BMSC cardiomyogenesis in vitro, and improving LV remodeling and cardiac functions in both a rat and pig MI heart models. Recently, his team found that SF could induced cardiomyocytes to pacemaker cells published at Nature Biomedical Engineering (2022). He has published about 100 peer-reviewed papers. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and a Fellow of International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE). He receives Research Scholar Award, and Biomedical Engineering Award endowed by Dr. C.J. Lee Biomedical Engineering Foundation for his research achievements in BME, and his dedications in education and service in BME society in Taiwan. He also received many other Awards in Taiwan.
