Dr. Sien Lin is a Research Assistant Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), dedicated to advancing skeletal tissue regeneration research. Her interests include mechanoresponsive stem cells and immune cells in distraction osteogenesis, as well as stem cells and functional biomaterials for bone and cartilage tissue engineering. Dr. Lin's work involves basic and translational research on bone regeneration, utilizing specialized animal models and techniques such as bone lengthening and transport—methods widely employed in orthopedic surgeries. She is part of a highly active research team in this field and has published 96 peer-reviewed papers since 2013, achieving an H-index of 34 and 4,025 citations (Google Scholar), with articles in prestigious journals like Nature Communications, Advanced Science, and JACS. Her research has garnered support from three General Research Fund (GRF) grants and three NSFC grants, along with a CUHK direct grant as Principal Investigator. Dr. Lin has presented at various international conferences and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, as well as a youth editor for Military Medical Research. In addition to her research, she supervises postgraduate students across multiple disciplines, including Orthopaedics, Musculoskeletal Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering. Outside of academia, Dr. Lin enjoys running, hiking, and music, often spending time outdoors with family and friends. Her commitment to understanding bone repair mechanisms aims to enhance innovative approaches for regeneration in the musculoskeletal field.
