Welcome to the Lin Research Group in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). We are interested in designing multifunctional polymeric biomaterials for releasing therapeutically relevant agents and for delivering adult, stem, and progenitor cells for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

​Our research projects are highly interdisciplinary and integrate knowledge from polymer chemistry and engineering, bioconjugate chemistry, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and immunology. We are grateful for the following agencies for supporting our diverse research projects:

• National Institutes of Health (NIBIB and NCI)
• National Science Foundation (DMR)
• Rural Development Administration of the Republic of Korea
• Indiana Clinical & Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI)
• Indiana Diabetes Research Center (IDRC) at IU School of Medicine
• IU Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR)
• 100 Voices of Hope for breast cancer research
• IUPUI Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR)
• IUPUI Biomechanics and Biomaterials Research Center (BBRC)
