About
Qin Lian is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, biofabrication, and tissue engineering. Her work centers on developing functional biohybrid systems—robots that integrate living biological tissues with synthetic components—and advancing additive manufacturing technologies for medical applications. One of her most significant contributions is the development of a robotic arm-based hydrogel additive manufacturing system for in-situ printing, a technique that enables direct application of biomaterials during surgical operations for injury repair. This work, published in 2017, has garnered 63 citations and represents a major step forward in intraoperative bioprinting. Lian has also made notable strides in biohybrid robotics, including the design of a robot that mimics the gait mechanism of *Aplysia californica*, a marine gastropod, to achieve stable, mucus-driven locomotion. Her 2020 review on biohybrid robots actuated by living cells has accumulated 68 citations, reflecting her influence in this emerging field. Through her innovative integration of robotics, materials science, and biology, Lian is shaping the future of soft robotics and regenerative medicine.
