Dr Hongxu Lu - DECRA research<br />
fellow<br />
PhD (2009)<br />
Biomaterials<br />
University of Tsukuba, Japan<br />
Hongxu Lu obtained his BSc and MSc<br />
degrees from Ocean University of<br />
China in 1998 and 2006,<br />
respectively. He completed his PhD in<br />
Materials Science and Engineering<br />
(Biomaterials) in 2009 from the joint<br />
PhD program of University of Tsukuba<br />
and National Institute for Materials<br />
Science of Japan (NIMS). From 2009<br />
to 2012, he worked as a postdoc<br />
researcher in the same lab of his PhD<br />
study at NIMS under the supervision<br />
of Prof. Guoping Chen.<br />
medicine and investigation of<br />
cell-biomaterials interactions. Dr. Lu<br />
was awarded with the Young<br />
Investigator Award from Japanese<br />
Society for Regenerative Medicine<br />
(Japan, 2012) and the Young Scientist<br />
Award from International Symposium<br />
of Materials on Regenerative<br />
Medicine (Taiwan, 2010). He has<br />
published more than 50 peer reviewed<br />
journal papers with more than 600<br />
citations. His current H-index is 13.<br />
Since 2012, he has been working at<br />
UNSW mentored by Prof. Martina<br />
Stenzel. In <strong>2015</strong>, Dr. Hongxu Lu was<br />
awarded an ARC DECRA Research<br />
Fellowship. His research focuses on the<br />
development of nano drug carriers and<br />
novel 2D and 3D cellular models for<br />
the evaluation of nano drug carriers.<br />
He is also interested in the<br />
development of 3D scaffolds for tissue<br />
engineering and regenerative
