Description of Research

Translational research combining nanotechnology, biomolecular engineering, and clinical medicine is the focus to enhance healthcare quality from rapid medical diagnostics to therapeutic solutions. Specifically, new nanomaterials with desired optical and magnetic properties are fabricated and characterized. The nanoparticles can be further engineered for self-assembly to form large scale ordered 2D or 3D nanopatterns. By manipulating the unique properties, we emphasize innovative biomedical applications such as high-throughput and multiplexed nano-biochip for point-of-care diagnostics. Multifunctional nanoparticles are also developed as a paradigm shift to theranostic platform capable of not only cellular imaging for diagnosis, but also drug and siRNA delivery in situ for treatment. Click here to visit lab page >>
