Bowen Luo, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, where his research focuses on advancing diabetic wound healing and microvascularized tissue engineering. He earned his PhD in Chemical Biology from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2022. His work integrates biomaterials, bioengineering, and cellular therapeutics to address critical barriers in chronic wound repair.

Dr. Luo currently leads two primary research projects:

- Biomimetic nanofibers electrospun with the wound-healing protein calreticulin, designed to rescue non-healing diabetic foot fibroblasts and restore their pro-healing phenotype.

- Template-enabled bioengineering of microvascular structures, featuring controlled removal of elastin-based scaffolds through enzyme secretion by bioengineered endothelial cells.

He has published in leading scientific journals, including Advanced Materials and ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Representative publications include work on spatially controlled biomolecule deposition on biomimetic fibrous matrices and the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs using bone lamellae-inspired matrix architectures.
