About
Wonhye Lee is a pioneering researcher in biomedical engineering, whose work bridges advanced bioprinting and medical robotics. His most influential contribution, the 2008 study “Multi-layered culture of human skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes through three-dimensional freeform fabrication,” has garnered over 570 citations, establishing him as a key figure in tissue engineering. This seminal work demonstrated the first successful fabrication of multi-layered skin constructs using 3D printing, laying the groundwork for modern bioprinting approaches to wound healing and regenerative medicine. Lee’s innovation in precisely layering fibroblasts and keratinocytes opened new avenues for creating functional skin grafts, directly impacting clinical dermatology and reconstructive surgery. Beyond bioprinting, he has explored endoscopic capsule robots with reconfigurable modular assemblies, addressing critical limitations in gastrointestinal diagnostics. Though a pilot study, this work showcases his versatility in tackling size constraints and locomotion challenges in medical devices. Lee’s research continues to inspire advances in both tissue fabrication and robotic endoscopy, reflecting a career dedicated to translating engineering solutions into tangible medical breakthroughs.
