Xiaohua,Liu,Professor,"As a bioengineer, I have a broad background in biomedical science and engineering, with specific training and expertise in novel biomaterials design/fabrication, controlled protein release, and the use of stem cells for bone, dental and other tissues repair and regeneration. Some of the our current research projects include:
1. Development of novel biomimetic materials/scaffolds for dental and craniofacial tissue regeneration.
2. Development of controlled drug/growth factor delivery system
3. Development of bio-inspired platform to explore cell-material interactions in three-dimension (3D).",Associate Professor||Professor,School of Dentistry||Biomedical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n9cd6704b
Xiaofang,Wang,Associate Professor,"My research interests are focused on the signaling regulation of bone and tooth development. Currently, my lab is focused on two kinases on the secretory pathway that are critical for bone and tooth development, Fam20B and Fam20C. I am also interested in mapping the pathogenic genes for bone and tooth diseases in mutant mice/humans. We characterize the gene function using multidisciplinary methods, including genetically engineered animal models, tissue/organ culture/transplantation, Single Cell RNA-Seq, ISH, IHC, and proteomic approaches.
