Dr. Hongjun Wang is Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA. The research interests of the Wang lab (www.stevens.edu/wanglab) mainly focus on multiscale biomimetic materials design, tissue reconstruction, in vitro tissue-on-a-chip and nanomedicine. His group has contributed a dozen of book chapters and invited reviews, a number of patent applications, over 100 invited talks and seminars and about 70 peer-reviewed papers in Advanced Materials, ACS Nano and Biomaterials. His work has been well cited (H index=25). He is also a recipient of several awards including Jess N. Davis Award for Excellent Research (2015), Jess N. Davis Award for Exemplary Research (2010), etc. Prior to joining Stevens, he was a research fellow at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and the Department of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School, Boston. Dr. Wang received his 1^st Doctorate in Polymer Chemistry & Physics (Prof. Binglin He, 1998) with honors from the Institute of Polymer Chemistry, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. He then worked at a Dutch biomedical company, IsoTis NV, and received his 2^nd Doctorate in Biomedical Engineering with Prof. dr. Clemens van Blitterswijk from the Institute for Biomedical Technology, University of Twente, Netherlands in 2003. His research has been well funded by NIH, NSF and other agencies.
