Introduction
I AM an outgoing, positive and organized researcher in biomaterial, biomedical-associated infection, drug delivery system, polymer science and engineering area.
I Studied polyelectrolyte complexation phenomena involving antimicrobial peptide/ peptoids for applications to the development of infection-resisting biomaterials.

Bacterial contamination of an exposed implantable medical device by the atmosphere of an operating room (OR) is increasingly implicated as a cause of device‐associated infection. Here, OR contamination is modeled in vitro using an aerosolizing system to spray small quantities of staphylococci onto titanium rods. Contaminated rods always manifest cu...
Infection associated with tissue‐contacting biomedical devices is a compelling clinical problem initiated by the microbial colonization of the device surface. Among the possible sources of contaminating bacteria is the operating room (OR) itself, where viable bacteria in the atmosphere can sediment onto a device surface intraoperatively. We have de...
Self-defensive biomaterial surfaces are being developed in order to mitigate infection associated with tissue-contacting biomedical devices. Such infection occurs when microbes colonize the surface of a device and proliferate into a recalcitrant biofilm. A key intervention point centers on preventing the initial colonization. Incorporating antimicr...
