What we do

Analytical Sciences

Our studies draw on chemistry, microfluidics, nanomaterials, and bioengineering to develop innovative lab-on-a-chip technologies and microrobotic systems that afford new capabilities for quantitative analysis of complex chemical and biological processes.

What we do

Biology

Cells secrete tiny membrnous extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes of 30-150 nm in sizes, which mediate intercellular communication in diverse biological and pathological processes by transferring a subset of molecules from the cell of origin, such as proteins and RNAs. Collaborating with other labs, we will adapt our new technologies to better elucidate the biochemical properties and pathological roles of EVs in disease, such as cancer.

What we do

Translational medicine

We bring our technologies and knowledge to address the challenges in the clinical utilities of liquid biopsy, including extracellular vesicles, as non-invasive modalities for early diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic treatment of cancer and Alzheimer's Disease.
