Our group has focused on the following research fields in the past from 2009 to 2020:
-
Microfabricated chemical/electrical/mechanical interface systems for synthetic biology.
-
Cellular BioMEMS for cell culture, sorting, patterning and cancer cell metastasis including the study of embryo development.
-
Micro‐/nanofluidics for (bio-)molecule detection, separation and concentration.
-
Biophysical studies and mechanistic modelings of the responses of cells and proteins to mechanical and electrical disturbances.
-
Applications of microfluidic technologies to quantifying the properties of biomolecules (e.g., DNA, proteins, cells, etc).
-
Nanotechnological applications of biomolecular motors and microtubules systems for stand‐alone, self‐contained and efficient micro Total Analysis Systems (μTAS).
