Brief Summary
The immune system plays a central role in regulating a wide range of biological processes, including infection, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, tissue injury, and regeneration. Understanding the functions and interactions of immune cells provides the foundation for the development of novel diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies. Our laboratory focuses on innate immune cells, particularly macrophages, to elucidate the mechanisms governing immune cell function, differentiation, and interactions within the tissue microenvironment, and to translate these findings into innovative therapeutic approaches for human diseases.
Our major research interests include single-cell and spatial immunology, immune regulation during tissue repair and fibrosis, the development of cell- and immune-based therapies, and the discovery of immune biomarkers. We investigate the roles of immune cells across a broad spectrum of diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory bowel disease. By integrating multi-omics approaches with advanced computational analyses, we aim to identify novel therapeutic targets and deepen our understanding of disease-associated immune mechanisms.
In addition, we develop and operate advanced immune profiling platforms, including cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF), Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC), and spatial proteomics, while providing high-dimensional immune profiling services through collaborative research with both clinical and basic science investigators. Through these efforts, we seek to bridge fundamental immunological discoveries with clinical applications, advance precision medicine, and contribute to the development of next-generation immunology and translational biomedical research.

Brief Summary
B-MIL develops next-generation biointerface technologies that integrate soft and fiber-based electronics, biomaterials, and artificial intelligence to precisely monitor, stimulate, and treat the nervous system and human tissues. Specifically, we aim to develop diagnostic biomarkers for neurological disorders, patient-specific neuromodulation strategies, and brain–computer interfaces based on minimally invasive neural electrodes, noninvasive brain and nerve stimulation, and AI-driven analysis of neural electrical and chemical signals.
We also seek to establish digital healthcare platforms for rehabilitation, postoperative recovery, and chronic disease management by using smart garments and skin- or tissue-attachable sensors for long-term monitoring of electrocardiography, electromyography, electroencephalography, and movement. Additional collaborative areas include surgical support devices, implantable therapeutic systems, and tissue regeneration technologies based on hydrogels, bioadhesives, drug-eluting sutures, and three-dimensional bioelectronic devices.
Furthermore, by integrating stem cells and organoids with bioelectronic interfaces, we aim to advance disease modeling, drug-response evaluation, and precision medicine. By incorporating unmet clinical needs from the earliest stages of research and linking validation across patients, animal models, and organoids, B-MIL seeks to translate engineering innovations into clinically meaningful diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
