Research Interests

Wildan's research interests lay in the intersection of material science and bioengineering. He is interested in exploring, developing, and applying (bulk/micro/nano) hydrogel-based polymeric biomaterials to tackle clinical problems as well as advancing technology in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. His research at BioMAD revolves around the designing of soft biomaterials-hydrogels for biomedical applications such as microneedles and drug delivery carriers with public accessibility kept in mind.
