Biography

Min Lee is a Professor at the UCLA School of Dentistry. His primary research area focuses on the design and development of new biomaterial systems that provide fundamental bases for translational approaches in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. He particularly explores orthobiologics and material-based therapeutics to repair craniofacial and orthopedic skeletal defects, employing novel liposomal platforms for drug and gene delivery as well as photopolymerizable hydrogel systems. His work includes the development of biomimetic polymer systems for tissue regeneration and drug delivery applications, with specific interests in new therapies for bone repair related to aging, obesity, and osteoporosis. Lee's research examines the regulation of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the creation of injectable self-healing polymer networks designed to guide cellular behavior and tissue formation. He has received multiple research grants to support his innovative investigations into these cutting-edge topics in biomaterials and regenerative medicine.
