My name is Binbin Ying, grown up in Ruins of Ying Jia, a small Chinese village steeped in 6,000 years of history. I currently live with my lovely wife, kid, and bunny in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am a Banting Fellow working with Prof. Giovanni Traverso and Prof. Robert Langer in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and jointly appointed as a research fellow in the Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School. My research vision is to advance the development of medical robots and devices by leveraging innovation in biomaterials and structures for chronic disease theranostics. My current research interests are ingestible and wearable robotics, hydrogel bioadhesives, large animal study, and their translational applications in precision medicine.
