Min Bao Biomimetic Regeneration and BioMechanics
Dr. Bao is a Principal Investigator (PI) at the Oujiang Laboratory. He was selected for the prestigious 2023 National Natural Science Foundation of China Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Overseas). Dr. Bao graduated with a Ph.D. in 2018 from Radboud University in the Netherlands, mentored by Wilhelm Huck (a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and the European Academy of Sciences). Subsequently, He conducted postdoctoral research in the groups of Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz at the University of Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology. He has been recognized with several honors, including the 2020 Biophysical Society's Outstanding Reviewer Award, the 2018 National Scholarship for Outstanding Self-financed Students Studying Abroad, and a full doctoral scholarship. In recent years, focusing on biomechanics and utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, Dr. Bao conducted a series of highly original research in the precise construction of life-like entities and organ-like systems outside the body, cellular mechanoresponsive mechanisms, stem cell fate regulation, and tissue regeneration mechanisms. He has published over 30 papers, including more than 10 as the first author or corresponding author in journals such as Nature Cell Biology, Nature Communications, Advanced Science, and Biomaterials. He has been invited to write reviews for Annual Review and the Current Opinion series and serve as a peer reviewer for numerous SCI journals in databases like ACS, RSC, Wiley, and Elsevier, often as an invited arbitration reviewer. His publications have been cited over 1600 times, and they have an H-index of 16.

Our research is focused on the field of mechanobiology, aiming to elucidate the mechanisms underlying tissue regeneration and the development of diseases. We seek to gain a deeper understanding of how various biomechanical signals collaborate with biochemical signals to regulate cellular behaviors, thereby influencing tissue regeneration and disease progression.
