Yumin is in the doctoral program of the Institute of Polymer Chemistry of the Czech National Academy of Sciences. Her team mainly makes anti-stick surfaces. They plan to adapt this non-adhesive material to the human body. It will be used to make artificial organs, such as artificial hearts or artificial blood vessels, for people who have had a heart attack or a blood clot, resulting in partial damage to the organ, which cannot be restored.

昱敏在捷克國家科學院的高分子化學所念博士班，她的團隊主要是做抗沾黏表面，簡而言之，就是一種材料，髒東西會直接離開，且不會附著，能抗髒、抗汙。他們打算把這抗沾黏的材料應用在人體上，因很多人想做人工器官，比如人工心臟或人工血管，或是有些人因心臟病發或血栓發生，導致器官部分損壞，不能恢復，此時需要用人工材料去做替代。然而，人工材料容易有囤積及沾黏的狀況發生，此時血栓又會再一次發生，因此抗沾黏的材料能在換上去以後，讓血栓不會發生，是個永久的方法...
