Travel Award.
Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) Asia Pacific (AP) Student and Young Investigator Section (SYIS) Travel Award
The award is supposed to be given to student and young researcher participants of the 7th TERMIS World Congress, selected based on the resumes submitted, the content of their presentations, and their participation in local networking events, and will subsidize travel and participation expenses at a fixed amount.
About awarded research
The research " Investigation of Pericyte Settlement on Microscale Morphology Fabricated by Direct-writing Electrospinning in Vascular Regeneration " which I had oral and poster presentation in the conference, has introduced a pattern- and morphology-controllable fiber fabrication method and the effect of scaffold physical cues on pericyte phenotypes.
Your impression & future plan
I deeply appreciate the patient guidance and constructive comments from my supervisor Prof. Yukiko T. Matsunaga, Prof. Beomjoon Kim, Prof. Vincent Salles (Université de Lyon), and other co-authors. This investigation cannot be realized without their kind help. I will continue to do my best and try to transfer the results to clinic applications. Lastly, I also would like to acknowledge the financial support from the SPRING GX program and LIMMS.
