Dr. Yi Hong's lab focuses on developing innovative solutions for heart repair after myocardial infarction, which has significant implications for public health. The lab is working on creating biodegradable and conductive cardiac patches that not only restore heart function but also enhance healing through the use of exosomes. This research aims to minimize the risks associated with conventional surgical procedures by employing minimally invasive techniques.

Dr. Liping Tang's lab focuses on advancing imaging techniques for diagnosing and monitoring infections related to orthopedic implants. Their innovative research develops new radiotracers based on D-amino acids to improve accuracy in identifying both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infections. Through both in vitro and in vivo studies, the lab aims to enhance precision in clinical settings, ultimately ensuring better patient outcomes in orthopedic healthcare.
