Julie C. Liu's research focuses on engineering protein- and polysaccharide-based biomaterials, such as collagen, elastin, and chondroitin sulfate hydrogels, for applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Her work often targets cartilage repair and tissue regeneration, examining how material composition and structure affect mechanical properties, cell behavior, and inflammation. Much of the research combines protein engineering with materials characterization to create tunable, biomimetic materials for medical use.
