About

Qi Gu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomimetic materials, 3D bioprinting, and tissue engineering. His work focuses on creating intelligent, dynamic hydrogels and advanced fabrication techniques for regenerative medicine. Gu’s most impactful contribution is the development of "Biomimetic 4D‐Printed Breathing Hydrogel Actuators," which integrate nanothylakoid and thermoresponsive polymer networks to mimic botanical movements and generate oxygen—a breakthrough with 92 citations that has opened new avenues for soft robotics and biomedical devices. He has also advanced robotic arm-based 3D bioprinting, highlighting its potential for automated, customizable tissue fabrication in regenerative medicine. In the clinical realm, Gu has contributed to robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladder diversion, reporting perioperative and functional outcomes that enhance surgical precision. His recent review on engineering strategies for oriented skeletal muscle tissues (2025) underscores his commitment to translating biomaterial innovations into functional tissue constructs. With a growing citation impact and a multidisciplinary approach spanning materials science, robotics, and surgery, Qi Gu is shaping the future of smart biomaterials and biofabrication.
