Biography
Chen is a Professor in the Department of Comprehensive Dentistry and Chief of the Regenerative Medicine Program in the School of Dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. His group was the first to establish cell-free native ECM made by bone marrow stromal cells. This system have been using for growing large numbers of high-quality non-hematopoietic stem cells from various sources. To closely replicate the tissue specific microenvironment (niche) ex vivo, Dr. Chen and his team have extended their technology by developing a variety of 3D tissue-specific scaffolds for facilitating stem cell-based applications.
