Donghui (Don) Zhu, Ph.D.
SUNY Empire Innovation Professor
Research Focus
Our research is centered on “Engineering-Driven Medicine.” Our laboratory engages
in interdisciplinary, transformative, and translational research that harnesses engineering
advances in biomaterials, neuroengineering, and immunoengineering to develop innovative
and improved clinical solutions for emerging challenges in regenerative medicine,
skeletal disease, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders, etc. We benefit
from state-of-the-art facilities throughout the campus, which promote a highly collaborative
environment at Stony Brook University.
