My name is Xiaohong Tan, and I am a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St.Louis.
My research interest aligns with developing biomaterial grafted with environmental cues to create a bioactive microenvironment for cells of interest for various tissue regeneration applications. My current project is focused on musculoskeletal regeneration, specifically for intervertebral disc degeneration where I am using short mimietic peptides grafted alginate hydrogel to understand how they affect downstream signaling in MSCs and their secretion profile during inflammation.
