  • 研究紹介

    My research interests lie in the study of interfacial interactions between biomaterials and their surrounding environment. This encompasses a range of phenomena, including the role of hydration layers, protein adsorption, and cell adhesion and spreading, antibacterial activity, and the underlying processes involved. The objective is to gain a deeper understanding of these processes, with the ultimate goal of designing biomaterials that align with the specific requirements of various biomedical applications.
