Lab & Research Interest

Functional nucleic acids 

Compared with antibody-based immunoassays, functional nucleic acid platforms are alternative designs for molecular analysis. Thus, we are interested in the exploration of these nucleic acid molecules as novel analytical tools for chemical sensing, biomolecular detection, and nanotechnology. 

Nanosensing 

Gold nanoparticls (AuNPs) are attractive because they provide unique size and distance-dependent SPR properties. The aggregation of AuNPs leads to a huge absorption band shift and color change from red to blue because of interparticle plasmon coupling. This color change allows AuNPs to be used for biosensing and biomedical applications. Therefore, our research focuses on the application of AuNPs as smart molecular probe for diagnostics and biosensing.

Low-cost diagnosis

We are developing low-cost biosensing devices.  A membrane-based microfluidic device is integrated with a surface plasmon resonance sensor to realize an easy-to-use and cost effective multi-step quantitative analysis.
