Biography
Wen has been focusing on the application of nanotechnology in biomaterials since she joined the University of Manitoba in 2005. Specifically, she conducts research on 1) multifunctional nanofibers for wound care and tissue engineering; 2) nano-carriers for therapeutic agents (e.g. anticancer drugs, antibacterial agents); 3) transport in nanofibrous materials. Her research has been supported by NSERC, CFI and MHRC.
Research Interest
Nanofibers/nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery, Functional nanofibers for biomedical end uses, Trans-dermal drug delivery, Transport behavior of fibrous/biomedical materials, Biodegradable polymers
