Professor Shengmin Zhang is an active scientist in biomaterials fields. He has chaired several international conferences and symposiums and was designated as keynote or invited speaker in about 30 symposiums and meetings. Currently, he is an Executive Director of the Chinese Biomanufacturing Society (CBMS) and the Vice Director of Biomaterials Committee, CBMS. He also is an Editorial Member of several international journals, including Biomedical Materials (IOP), etc.
Professor Zhang is the Founding Chair of China-Korea Center for Biomaterials and Nano-Biotechnology supported by NSFC, KOSEF and Ministry of Education of P.R.China.
Dr. Shengmin Zhang’s research interests are mainly focused on biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine,including nano-Ca-P(Si) biomatreials for hard tissue repair, absorbable polymer and its composite/hybrid materials for internal fixation, bioactive coating, bio-or/and digital-fabrication for tissue engineering scaffolds, imaging of nano-biomaterials, tissue engineering (bone and cartilage, blood vessel, myocardial,etc.), biomimetic and template co-assembly nano-biomaterials, material- cell / tissue interaction and mechanism in molecular level. As a PI, he has completed more than 20 key projects on advanced biomaterials from NSFC, MOST, MOE and the local governments, etc. He is an author or co-author of about 70 peer - reviewed papers and 5 books. At the same time, he is the inventor of more than 20 patents,of which obout 10 patents involving nano-biomaterials.
