The dikicilab Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Research Group was founded by Dr. Serkan Dikici in 2021 with the vision of developing innovative solutions for regenerative medicine. Our team focuses on designing and characterizing novel biomaterials for soft tissue engineering and angiogenesis, aiming to address unmet clinical needs through interdisciplinary approaches that combine material science, bioengineering, and biology.

​

Graduate and undergraduate members of dikicilab actively contribute to research in diverse areas, including:

​

✦ Pro-angiogenic biomaterials of natural and synthetic origin

✦ Functional biomaterials to promote and accelerate chronic wound healing

✦ In vitro and in vivo angiogenesis models for translational research

✦ Vascular tissue engineering and the development of tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs)

✦ Physiologically relevant 3D tissue and disease models as ethical alternatives to animal experiments

✦ Endothelial cell responses to flow and drug treatments in vitro

…and beyond, as we continuously seek new ways to advance the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering.
