Current Research Interests
The overarching focus of Dr Tay’s research lies at the nexus between small scale (micro-nano) biomaterials and biology. His research group seeks to understand and develop novel biomaterials-centric strategies to control living systems for biomedicine and biotechnology. Areas of current research include: (i) Micro-nano scale technologies for regenerative medicine and biosensing, (ii) Mechano-chemical signal transduction in eukaryotes, (iii) “Self-therapeutic” nanomaterials and (iv) 3D printed bio-inspired micro-physiological systems for cancer and skin research.
