Research summary

Bumsoo Han's research focuses on how mechanical and biochemical properties of tissue-like environments influence cell behavior, particularly in cancer and tissue engineering contexts. His group builds lab-on-a-chip and 3D tumor/tissue models to study how cells sense and respond to their surroundings, including matrix stiffness, chemical gradients, and fluid flow, with applications to understanding cancer cell migration, invasion, and drug resistance. This work combines engineering tools like microfluidics and biomechanics with biology to model diseases such as pancreatic and liver cancer.
