Received his Master and Bachelor degree in polymer science and engineering from the Sichuan University and Jiangsu University, China. His research interest is on glycogen nanoparticle-based materials and their application. He developed a mussel inspired adhesive glycogen nanoparticle which can form a dense glycogen coating on surfaces. He also prepared the macro-coatings by assembling charged glycogen nanoparticles. He is exploring these coatings in applications in blood and tissue engineering.

Received her Bachelor’s degree from Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University and her Master’s degree in Chemistry from TU Dresden, Germany. Her research focuses on glycogen-based hydrogels for biomedical applications, including tissue engineering and bioelectronics. She develops modified glycogen nanoparticles and hydrogels with tailored mechanical and degradation properties for therapeutic and implantable applications. Her work combines polymer chemistry, 3D printing, and advanced material characterization to design biodegradable and functional biointerfaces.

PhD researcher within the DIGS-ILS program. He holds a B.Sc. in Molecular Biology & Genetics and a double-major B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, as well as an M.Sc. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Koç University, Turkey. As both a scientist and an engineer, his research experience and perspective are highly interdisciplinary, integrating principles of biomaterial science and bioengineering to develop advanced biomedical technologies, including functional hydrogels, drug delivery platforms, and immunomodulatory systems. At IPF, his PhD focuses on designing multifunctional polymer systems for the dual delivery of therapeutics and immune-regulating factors for pancreatic cancer treatment.
