Biography

Zahid Hussain received his M.Sc. degree (2011-13) in Biochemistry from Punjab University Lahore, and his M.S. degree (2014-17) in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) under the guidance of Prof. Fauzia Yusuf HAFEEZ (TI). He completed his Ph.D. studies (2019-23) in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) under the supervision of Prof. Renjun PEI, in the domain of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine domain. He then joined the same group as a post-doctoral research fellow (2023-2024). His research interests are interdisciplinary and focused on supramolecular chemistry, photo-functional materials, biomineralized materials, cell surface engineering, the development of fiber-reinforced spheroids, and the fabrication of cell-instructive surfaces and scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Furthermore, he focuses on improving the compatibility, antifouling, and specific cell-homing properties of blood-contacting biomaterials. He has published up to 25 peer-reviewed papers (among them 11 papers as the first or corresponding author) in international journals (h-index 14). Some representative papers were published in Engineered Regeneration, Chemical Engineering Journal, Biomaterials Advances, Applied Material Today, Chemosphere, and ACS Biomater. Sci. Eng Journal.
