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 />

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
