Research Interest
Our lab is primarily focused on advanced single-cell proteomics technologies and single-cell systems biology. The long-term goal of our research is to implement single-cell proteomics technologies in the clinic to advance precision medicine and personalized medicine, and to make treatment outcome predictable. Protein-level signaling and biomarker studies with the single-cell resolution are expected to address key obstacles in the diagnostics and therapeutics of systematic diseases such as cancer, sepsis, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s diseases, and Parkinson’s disease. In particular, we are working on portable cytometry-like microdevices that exceed the power of existing cytomters. Since the size of animal cells is at the micro scale, microchip platforms are employed to facilitate single-cell manipulation and biomolecule detection. Those microdevices are fabricated in our lab by photolithography. Integration with a highly multiplexed, miniaturized biosensor array into the microdevices enables assays of both secreted cytokines, membrane proteins and intracellular proteins from individual cells.
