The primary goal of Applied Mechanobiology Group at Korea University is to identify how the forces interact with pathological progression of diverse human diseases. By combining physical sciences and life sciences at the molecular, cellular, tissue & organ level, we develop a new paradigm of medical biotechnology to overcome human health problems.
