About
Xuan Mei, PhD
I am a biomedical engineer working at the interface of biofabrication, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and organ-on-a-chip technologies. My research focuses on building engineered tissue systems that can better model human physiology, disease progression, and therapeutic response.
My work spans light-based 3D bioprinting, cell-laden hydrogel systems, microphysiological platforms, translational biomaterials, and minimally invasive therapeutic delivery. I am particularly interested in developing dynamic, intelligent, and clinically relevant models that bridge fundamental bioengineering and translational medicine.
