Enhancing Cell Therapy Through Biomedical Engineering and Innovation
Episode 69
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025

Shang Song is an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering and a BIO5 Researcher, she will talk aboutResearch approachBiomaterials and their usageHer Research focusRecent Discoveries in the LabMentorship’s impact on ScienceThree things you will learn in this episode:What Biomaterials areRecent Discoveries in Cell TreatmentsMentorship in Research Labs—--------------------------The BIO5 Institute’s Amy Barber talks with member and one of the University’s experts in biomedical engineering, Dr. Shang Song. Dr. Song’s lab focuses on integrating advanced engineering design methods and cell therapies to create new microphysiological platforms and regenerative therapies. The lab is fundamentally interested in designing new “experiences” for cells to change their behavior, and use this knowledge to develop better therapeutics and treatment methods for future patient treatment.—--------------------------Check out some of our previous episodes about biomedical engineering projects!Episode 33: Tackling traumatic brain injury head-onEpisode 28: Seamless wearable and implantable devices to support our livesEpisode 40: Reducing costs and supporting health with smartphone microscopy —--------------------------Connect with us!Instagram: @uazbio5LinkedIn: uaz-bio5-instituteFacebook: @UAZBIO5Website: BIO5.org
