2017年11月1日，苏州大学骨科研究所邀请了香港中文大学边黎明教授来我所交流访问并做专题报告，研究所教职工及骨科研究生参加了该报告。

    边黎明教授的报告题目为“Multiscale biomaterials for stem cell-based tissue regeneration”（基于干细胞的组织再生多尺度生物医用材料）。边教授从事再生医学相关的功能性生物材料研究多年，基于天然材料如明胶、透明质酸等先后制备出多种新型的具有可注射、超韧、力学性能可调控、形状可逆塑形和酸性微环境下成胶等物理化学性能的特殊水凝胶基材，并应用在动物体内软骨和骨修复方面取得了良好的效果。此外，边教授在药物释放、分子成像和细胞-材料相互作用方面也取得很好的研究成果，如开发了磁控细胞整联素与配体互动的创新纳米平台，这为生物材料表面的设计提供了有益的参考。

附：学者简介

Dr. Bian received his B.Eng and M.Sc degree from the National University of Singapore in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Dr. Bian completed his Ph.D. study in Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University in 2009. Dr. Liming Bian then conducted his postdoctoral research in the Department of Bioengineering, the University of Pennsylvania from 2009 to 2012. In 2012, Dr. Bian joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an assistant professor. Dr. Bian’s research focuses on the development of novel multiscale biomaterials not only for investigating the role of cell microenvironment factors on stem cell behaviors but also for facilitating the regeneration of diseased or injured tissues and organs. Dr. Bian’s research work has been published in the leading journals including PNAS, JACS, Nano Letters, Biomaterials, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, Macromolecules, Advanced Healthcare Materials, etc.
